Married.

A wedding I shot with Rebekah Westover a while back. I'm a big fan of couples like these two. Chill. Relaxed. Fun. Because on your wedding day, all the matters is that you're married. Everything else is just a bonus!

Long Days.

It's a long, sad day at our house when no friends can play.

The Allman family.

Cheryl is the longest friend I have. We met when we were 7. And I went to highschool with her husband. And neither of them have changed much over the years. They're just consistently cool. And it's no surprise that their kids have more personality than they know what to do with.

I'm pretty happy with the results from this shoot. Just sayin'.

My favorite. I'd like to say we had some safety precautions during this shot. You know, a net below him or some chords tied to his leg in case his dad lost his grip while swinging him back and forth and the little guy shot out of his hand. We obviously didn't. And thankfully his dad didn't let go. And it's one of my favorite family shots ever.

The front porch.

I cornered them on the front porch. And told them they couldn't play with friends if they didn't let me take their picture. And I'm not ashamed of my threats. Because I have to do what I have to do. And if I could pass along one piece of advice about taking pictures (good pictures--one's you'd hang on your wall) of your kids--don't. Because it's really hard. They'll always behave better for someone else. And do things for someone else they won't do for you. :)



So here are my girls. On my front porch. As they were on their way out the door to play with friends. Because they live and die for friends. First thing they ask in the morning (after Mya asks for candy): "Can we play with our friends." And so our house is grand central station. Little girls everywhere. And I love it. I'd rather have them here. Trashing my house. Because I love to watch them play (and know what they're doing). Kids are hilarious.
