…well, they aren’t so old but they are favorites. This is my 3rd time with this crew, 11 y/o and under (the kids anyway), 5 of ’em + their gorgeous parents Tara & Alan.
I love working with this family, they bring a fun energy that large families typically bring, a sort of controlled chaos that is palpable and allows our time together to unfold dynamically. Tara always has a fun mix of clothes every time (they coordinate without being nauseatingly matchy match, I so *love* that) and she comes up with some great ideas (I don’t just claim I love client input, I relish it. I think that clients taking some ideas and asking me to implement them with my vision is a wonderful challenge and look forward to Tara’s ideas each session). The kids are really well behaved and I enjoy them wholeheartedly, this time was no exception.
This time around we changed up a bit and we did a Marmalade Urban/Studio session (and we actually did break out the studio gear! Looky that!) instead of meeting them in Plainfield. I had a blast seeing you all, it is a true honor to be able to document the young lives of your beautiful children for you.
So, no need to read on further, there’s some sneak peeks!!
