Chaluparambil Family....

This family rolls DEEP....as in 17 peeps deep!  What a fun and appropriate numbered photo shoot to end 2017!
Not gonna lie, I had no earthly idea what I was agreeing to when I said yes to doing this multi generational shoot...it's pretty freaking hard to get 17 people to look at the camera all at the same time and not one person blink or lick their lips....but it is so worth the effort...especially to get the matriarch of the Chaluparambil family included in a session like this....I loved the opportunity to capture these treasures....

Chrissy is one of the oldest and most loved people from my childhood.  Her family is entwined with my history....I never doubted how precious she was..very early on I knew she was the apple of her parent's eye...

And to see her now surrounded by Phil's family...who clearly adore her and cherish her as their own...was such a special thing to witness....and her love for them was palpable....

The Chaluparambil family was such a fun loving and sweet group of people...and I felt right at home with them as they're as big into dentistry as I am...I had the best time hanging out with them...

Thank you Phil and Chrissy for letting me meet your entire crew...it was truly a pleasure!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Lopez Family....

Candice is one of the peeps I spend my weekdays with...been working with this wild woman for the last 10 years...and it was such a blast spending my weekend with her sweet family...chasing after her little man!!

I was basically there from the inception of this family...considering I photographed their wedding day...so this was pretty much gonna be a breeze for me...or so I thought...

Luke kept Candi, Anthony and me on our toes during this shoot....he was SUPER cooperative with his face...butttttt his body could not stop moving!!  He's such a stinker!  Luckily he's got his momma's dimple when he smiles...and can get away with just about anything!  

And we totally got some beautiful shots of their family....to cherish these last moments of the terrible two's...before his third birthday!!

Thank you Lopez's for such a fun time together...enjoy your sneak peek!

 

Reg and Jess....

How is this even my job?!  
To take pictures of my sweet friend and her AMAZING family...way too much fun! 

Jess has been my nearest and dearest friend since junior high...and easily the person I have spent the most time with on the phone over all these years...if you ever meet us...you'd wonder how either of us got a word in edgewise with the other one on the line....
She is the soprano to my alto....and we have spent many of those hours on the phone singing in parts...I'm not one to brag...but our voices basically complement each other's perfectly...:) 
Also...we are not shy....ask us...we'll perform for you...pahahahaahahah....I wish I was kidding...

Jess is a photographers dream....she knows what I am aiming for even before I say it...and her entire family follows suit!  They were excellent with posing and having a good time!  Even Reg!  I loved hanging out with this precious family for the photo shoot and then the hangout at my house afterwards...was the icing on the cake! 

The last time the George's took family pictures was 8 years ago.  How is that even possible?  And I am 98% sure I was the last one to take those pictures...
If I had two adorable girls like this, I'd be taking family pictures every year...no lie.  

Thank you George's for the opportunity!
