When I get to wake up to the sunshine shining happily outside my window, I’m already in the know that it’s going to be a good day. The birds were pumped about it, the dog was all about lounging in it, the grass seemed to green up overnight because of it. Things just go better with sun, don’t you agree?
When I showed up at Karen and Dennis’ shortly after Christmas to photograph their family, I knew it was going to be a great session. Although it was bitter cold, the sun was shining, the kids were laughing and everyone was still in the Christmas spirit. The families flew in from Alaska, Vermont and Massachusetts to celebrate together so it was the perfect time to round them up for an afternoon of fun family photographs. We posed and laughed inside then went outside to romp in the snow, play a little touch/tackle football, enjoy the family pets and simply photograph this family being family.
