Generations Galore

I love families where the generations overlap. Much like my own brood, nieces can swap out for sisters and uncles, sons. It can be very confusing to the onlooker, but oh so fun on the inside. Add that bustling bounty to a bitter breeze and you will be sure to capture everyone, eyes wide open, bursting with beauty! It was undeniably freezing the day of this shoot, but with folk in town from every coast of the nation, the moment had to be seized. Here is a small scattering of the varied shots from our fun session the day after Christmas...

It was terrific to meet you all, extended S family, and I thank you for your good humor and warm smiles that kept the blood running through my own body! You were superstars!

50 years and counting

Wow! I hope we are this in love when we've been married 50 years! And that we look this ready for the next 50...




And I hope my Canon is still working and my family is still tolerating non-stop memory sealing then so I can get some pictures like these... 3 generations. Fabulous.





These three came all the way from Portland, Oregon for the shoot. See what I mean about a fab family... (and a photogenic one, my golly!)



What an honor to photograph this special occasion, D extended family. Thank you, thank you.

G Generations

There is a beauty in this love, I mean job of mine that I never really expected once upon a time when I dreamed it up... and it's this: You meet these quite remarkable people. They share your town. Your sand. Your skies. You stumble in awe of their radiance, that day at the meeting. Their laughter. Their desire to just be. And be captured being. And then, as if by coincidence, but not, you meet again. And again. Sometimes in town. Sometimes in the sand. And then again, oh so luckily, in front of the camera. To renew your awe of them. To make you, too, smile. To make every moment of this job a love.

You may recognize these faces. Boy, I know you'll be happy to see them again...

C Generations

You may remember these smiles, these dimples, these magazine eyes. I was lucky enough to meet and photograph the C Family back in October 2010. Sigh... Today, their boys are almost a year older, and even more handsome. Their joy somehow seems even greater, too. On this shoot, I was fortunate enough to get WSC III, IV and V all together. Wow. The grandparents were visiting from California and what a special way to capture their stay. I hope you love these pics. I sure do. And since I haven't given you a full slideshow to ogle over for a while, here's a Sunday easy-on-the-eyes gift from to you...

How beautiful is this mama with her two boys?









And here's the slideshow:

C Extended Fam

“Whoever teaches his son teaches not alone his son but also his son's son, and so on to the end of generations.”
Hebrew Proverb

What a great group! So much energy, such super personalities. It was a joy to spend a windy, blue-skied hour with the extended family this past weekend and get to know each of them just a bit. Hats off to these thoughtful kids and grandkids for making photographic memories for their elders. It's the holidays and there'll be other shoots coming just like this, and I know they'll make some grandparents very, very happy. There's no timeless, happy gift like a picture of those you love...
