Embarassingly enough…it has been so long since we posted anything on this blog that I forgot how to log in to do so! Fortunately…Geri and I have been blessed…we have been busy leading fun, frantic lives these last few months! We have photographed amazing weddings, an actual engagement, family sessions and events that we need to post and share with you guys! Geri is off to a photographer’s event tomorrow called SPA at the Hotel Del and I can not wait to see what she brings back for us to use this next year. I love the goodies Geri always seems to find for us!

I spoke with Geri tonight and we were both in the midst of getting our children ready to go back to school after Christmas break…we both realize how lucky we are that our children go to school every day so we can focus on renewing our energy towards our business. We are really excited for things to come.

I am not going to tell you one of my New Year’s Resolutions was to get totally updated on this blog but I am going to at least attempt to share at least one picture from all of the fabulous sessions we photographed these past few months.

I was privileged enough to be chosen by my three wonderful sisters to photograph their children for their Christmas cards and presents this year. It was a true delight to see how gorgeous my nephews and nieces have grown up to be (yes…I can include my stunning daughter Cassi in this also!). We had a great time at Griffin Park photographing and everyone was thrilled with how the session turned out.

Approximately six years ago, we attempted the same session and my niece MacKenzie, who was quite the precocious one, would not cooperate for the session. The family portrait that has hung in my Mom and Dad’s living room for the last 6 years is a 16×20 image with all family members struggling to smile as we waited for MacKenzie to cooperate. She never did and the family portrait was taken with just the back of MacKenzie’s head. I have to admit that it is probably the most cherished family portrait we have. I share that story with sessions because, as unperfect as that portrait is hanging on my Mom’s wall…it is a family moment in our history. My family is imperfect and the portrait captured that for us that day!

We recreated the portrait this time…tongue in cheek…since it is such a family heirloom for us.

Enjoy!
