A few years ago, three families rallied to coordinate their busy schedules to gather for a sitting with their parents. What I loved about that shoot was their focus on coming together as a family. They did not stress that there were a few sprinkles falling from the sky; they didn't stress about having pressed shirts or matching clothes; they didn't stress if there were a few tears from the youngest in the bunch. They were just so happy that the stars aligned allowing for a window in their schedules to fit in family pictures. The connectedness and love that come through in my time with them easily made every image special.
This summer, they contacted me hoping to capture their families again before the craziness of school set in. They expressed their regret that one family would be absent due to a European move, but they did not want to let the opportunity pass to document their families again with a small nod to their parents 50th anniversary this year. I really looked forward to another great time with them.
They definitely did not disappoint. The youngest in the bunch was a little reticent at first, sharing a few tears when he emerged from the car. But soon enough he turned the corner and he was on the go trying to keep up with his cousins. (So much so that getting him for a solo pic with his sister ended up being the coup of the day--all evidenced by the tryptic of him with his sister).
I love the smiles, laughter, love and connectivity shining so brightly in these images. They are a reflection of such a great family. Happy 50th anniversary!!
