Fun Family

This holiday season, I introduce Emily (youngest), Luke (oldest), Allison (smartest) and John.  It was during a break from class that John had asked if I would take some shots of his family. Of course I jumped at the chance to take some pictures! 

Luke and Emily

If you were to ask me what was my favorite part of this shoot, I would say "everything".  Let me explain why. Growing up, I had three siblings, all within one year of each other.  Doing anything as a family was a chore.  We couldn't arrive anywhere on time, clean and without someone fighting with someone else.  Even my closest friends were used to my siblings and their antics.  Regardless of the event, it was chaos if we were involved.  

Allison (the taller cutie) gets credit for setting this one up.

Fast forward to this photo shoot. Emily was a fireball.  Luke was looking for direction.  Allison knew her time with the light and attention spans were limited.  John was ready to finished already.  When someone was getting their picture taken, someone else was giving direction behind me. "Hold still", "Come back here", "Get down off there", "hurry up, we're losing light"!  All of these different aspects and I couldn't stop thinking about my family growing up.  Thanks John and Allison for allowing me to photograph your wonderful family.  It was truly fun and exciting the whole way through.
