Gavin and Erin’s Holiday Family Portrait

There’s finally a cold nip in the air, the trees are finally turning beautiful shades of yellow and red, and I can almost smell the test run turkeys cooking. Not only is this my favorite time of year, but it’s my favorite time of year for family portraits. I’ve been doing quite a few lately and I’ll be sharing them with you this next week, but I wanted to start off with introducing you to my good friends Gavin and Erin, and their pups Ella and Chloe. Not only are these two people dear friends of mine, but they’re also crazy talented wedding photographers… who just so happened to be MY OWN wedding photographers. Their friendship has meant the world to Christopher and I over the past year and some… and we’ve watched their little family grow from just the three of them (Gavin, Erin, and Ella), to now, the four of them as Chloe has joined the family. And while, normally, I do family portraits with just people, this family of four is just too cute to refuse. Here are my favs from the evening….

After a little while of shooting with the pups, we decided to ditch them for a bit and take some of the cute couple for a bit…

LET'S work
TOGETHER

This life is thrilling and grand and moments of greatness are threaded through loss, grief, and uncertainty. So for tonight, let's dance and celebrate the love we have here. Now. What a gift. The ultimate luxury.

Whether your love is the strong silent kind that shows itself in knowing eyes and tender embraces, or if your love is the loud laughter and infectious kind that can barely contain the joy and excitement you feel... I want to be there. With my camera. Taking snapshots so that time will forever be frozen still.
