The “Cul” family

A beach photoshoot today, and I have to say that as much as I am wanting "real" fall weather, I’m so reluctant to let go of the beautiful, continuing summer weather. It’s the beginning of October and I was more than comfortable being barefoot on the beach. Crazy! And it dosen’t hurt with all of the beach shoots I am doing.

Anyway, a last minute shoot today for a friend of mine and her wonderful, photogenic family both immediate and extended. My boys go to school with their youngest daughter and are good friends with her. The middle daughter, C, and some of her friends are Timmy’s fan club and are so good to him. She chased me down the street one day when Timmy was crying in the stroller on the way to school just to give him a little toy car so he would cheer up. And it worked. Really, all the kids are just the sweetest. So well mannered, fun, and just NICE. The littlest boy in the pictures is my friends nephew- around the same age as Timmy. His mom wasn’t in the picture mood today so it was just him and his dad. I am hoping mom lets me get some of her next time.

Such an easy shoot today- a total pleasure. Big kids are so super easy. No chasing. They just go where you tell them and stay there. The only challenge is getting those natural smiles. I think I caught a few. All the pictures are in an album on the left. Click any image (below or in album) to see bigger. Hope you like them, J and M too!
