the boch family
A longtime friend and her family who I’ve photographed a few times in the past (and who’s youngest was Timmy’s communion partner down the aisle) chose a beach session this year. We really lucked out with the weather and a great time was had by all. Well, maybe except Dad who was missing a football game. Or maybe it was a baseball game.

the bodk family (a “be together” session)
I was so excited to meet and photograph the rest of this family, since I love photographing and hanging out with the part of the family that are already my clients! They decided to do an extended family session to celebrate their mom & dad’s 40th anniversary and since they have had no family photos in about 6 years! I hope Grandma & Big Ed can see the beautiful family they’ve created in the photos we took.
The whole crew.
The original crew.
Happy anniversary you two!

The girls.
The boys. As in my family, the girls are seriously outnumbered.
Her baby girl is having a baby in the spring!
“This is weird”. But funny!!
Big Ed was not my biggest fan. To say the least.
But he loves his girls!




A little bit like twins these two.

Take a picture with your mom, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. Yeah, this is the feeling of most teenage boys I photograph.



So nice meeting the rest of the family! Hope you had as much fun as I did!

the mull family
Impossibly good looking (the whole family) and super kind. How I got so lucky with my clients I’ll never know. When I did their pictures two years ago, it was just the three of them. They’ve since added another little girl to their family. And I had to get the “crib picture” for their new little girl too- especially since I saw the original one displayed in their new home. Love it when that happens!!
And yes, they belong on a magazine cover.
The new crib picture. 

















Aaaaaand, we’re done.

the conl family (a ‘be together’ session)
Not going to lie, this session was quite the challenge with 19 people- including 10 kids the oldest of who was 9 years old, and the youngest 9 months old. I needed a bed and and an IV of wine when we were done. On the questionnaire I send out with the welcome packet, the comment was “rest up!” No kidding. But, all the families were great and fun (and loved the colors they chose) and I loved seeing all the cousins interact with each other. We shot at Sun & Surf where they have a cabana at almost the end of the summer.
The whole gang!
Mom & Dad with their children & spouses.
With all the grandchildren.










A few dreamy ones…
Finally made it down to the ocean with the crew.

the rudi family
An extremely windy day on the beach for this session, with a fun extended family that I’ve photographed several times over the last few years. I love that grandma and grandpa always take part in the yearly session! Every session with this group is memorable, but it used to be because the day of or the day after the session one (or sometimes both) of the girls got sick. We were lucky that they showed no sign of illness this year and we had a great (but windy) session!
