children & families

the palu family

My first shoot for 2009- and a GREAT way to start off bsquared for the new year. A very lovely and photogenic family who found me thru some holiday cards they received with my blog on the back. We lucked out and were able to schedule a shoot while all 3 kids were home from college on winter break. They are just a great, warm, happy family who seemed genuinely happy to be together (and at the same time, everyone was excited to go back to school!) Even the dog was smiley.

Everyone was troopers and we went outside in the cold and snow for a few shots as well. The dog was a very excited participant as well!

And yet another small world story…when I went up to the high school today to take some photos of the prinicpal (I've volunteered to take pictures for the Education Foundation fundraiser "dancing with the teachers" and took photos of the two honorees today- more on that later) I looked up in the office and saw the mom's name on a desk plaque. She works there. The world keeps getting smaller and smaller…
