Groves | family

To celebrate the cooler weather upon us this week, I thought it would only be right for me to post a family session from last fall... er... winter. It was the end of November, and these guys were real troopers hanging out in the cold! I've known the Groves family since high school, and they have so much fun as a family it's ridiculous. It was a blast shooting their photos.

Zajiceks & Harrisons | family

These four people have been a huge part of my life for a few years now. Jenna and I became closer than close in high school, and I don't know what life would be like without her! Her husband Brandon, well, he's cool I guess. (Kidding... he's one of the craziest dudes I know, and of course now a great friend too.) Together they've started an awesome thing called Harrison Collective (www.harrisoncollective.com), and I just can't stop telling people about how crazy talented they are. Jim and Dee, Jenna's parents, are like family to me too! They have done so much for me over the years and are such a blessing. It was such an honor to do their family session! Love you all :)

Chris + her boys | family

Chris and I got to really talk for the first time at an extended family reunion this summer... yes she is part of my family and I don't know that we've had a conversation before! But I'm glad that changed. She told me that she was planning to go on an African safari in 2012 (jealous), and wanted some advice on buying a new camera. She probably learned quickly not to get me started on cameras :). Enjoy these photos of Chris and her sons, Nick and Connor!

Bianchi-Rossi family
