the thie family
I’ve been lucky enough to photograph this family MANY times over the years- they are among my favorites, and for good reason. This year we headed back to the beach for an extended family session with the whole gang. So much fun, chaos, and what was my last beach session for 2014. I miss it there already…

the cowa family
I’m back from the blogging dead!! So sorry it’s been so quiet around here lately- its really hard keeping up with work in the summer with the boys home, no semblance of a schedule to be found, trying to keep everyone happy and busy, which all = no time to edit and work. But I’m back (at least for a blog or two) and will be back for good once school starts in about 2 weeks. I also have to get the bsquared fall calendar up (september-november) and I’m hoping to get that done this week as well. Stay tuned for that.
A special extended family, most of who you have already seen here on the blog. Multiple times. Love, love this family and so glad I got to meet the rest of them at this great location out east.
Look at the feet. Love that they’re so synchronized!
A special request photo. They had their wedding portrait in this exact spot in this exact pose. Then we added in their beautiful family.

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 pana family
As a gift for their mom/grandma, this fantastic family chose a backyard session when they were all together for Annie’s high school graduation. The part of the family that was hosting the session live around the block from me so I rolled my suitcase of gear on over and shot in the pretty backyard with gorgeous light. The seemingly constant rain this year has been a huge pain and a giant bummer and caused so many sessions to be rescheduled, but when there is sun the light is amazing. So there’s that. I think mom/grandma was really happy to have all her kiddies (both grown and little) together and I hope I captured that in the photos.
Could not get enough of their curly hair. 
Pretty & proud! And definitely not old enough to have those grown children, grandchildren and even one great grandchild. 
Well, we tried.
Annie’s off to college in just a few short weeks. 
All the grandchildren, and one great grandchild. 
Siblings. 
Nothin but curls and gorgeous light.

the capp family
Couldn’t have asked for a better group for my very first session of 2013. I photographed them the day after I came home from vacation and while it was chilly out, it wasn’t terrible (other than feeling the tan leach out of my skin). Karen, who set up the whole session for her family, had a great idea to do the shoot at Carltun on the Park (in Eisenhower Park) where they booked a lunch date. This was an extra special shoot as it was the first time the whole family was together since last Christmas- with both girls away at college, and their son, daughter in law and granddaughter living in Japan family get togethers are few and far between. They have such a great family dynamic and you could tell they were so happy to be together.
How much do you love this little lamby?
A change of clothes and warming up indoors for a bit.
And a Christmas dress.
