Studio J

All of the families were over for the holidays   ….. so …. extended family portraits!

I was thrilled when Deb told me they wanted these out in the snow!  These are so much more natural and real than a studio backdrop.   I crack a giant grin, knowing that a group of 19! people can be this easy going and up for something non-traditional.  That’s how they roll!

Thanks you guys. You made the whole day fun and interesting!

Jill is so lively and she has this incredible, infectious positive attitude  but she is not a winter person.

…..  so she immediately ran with the suggestion of some headshots in the snow.  Pushing beyond her comfort zone is something she has discovered pays off over and over again -  against one’s 1st snap judgement.

I guess they’re alright.  …. hahahaha!   I love them!

When the weather warms up, we’ll be making some dramatic fitness images before she leaves for a habitat home building stint in Costa Rica this May (yay Jill!).

Here’s a quick slideshow of her headshot session:

From tropics to snow.  ….   As families go, these guys were much like teenagers, joking and singing/playing around the campfire.   This is what I miss most from my old place in the country.

Thanks you guys for doing something cool that reminded me of so many good times!  …. and for later, when you lived through my most air-headed moments with patience and good humour!
