Family session... a reschedule from last summer!

So this session on Sunday was with my lovely friend L and her family... it was sort of a reschedule from last summer! Her oldest graduated in 2007, and she wanted a family photo before he left for college. We set the date, arrived at the location, and were there for less than 10 minutes before we got caught in a downpour! Then D left for college and we weren't able to coordinate schedules again.

Fast-forward one year... J graduated in 2008 and we went out for another attempt before school started. This time.... success!!

Here's one by the waterfall (in B/W, because it's always my favorite)...

And one in color by the lake - I just love the golden glow of the sun setting on the water and the trees! I was also happy with the natural expressions on this one - they were laughing at my "assistant" (AKA my 8-yr old daughter) who was apparently doing crazy things behind my back!!

Last but not least... an outtake! I was having problems posing J&D so I wasn't shooting up their noses (I'm guessing they're both around 6 ft 2 or 6 ft 3, and I'm 5 ft 7!!) so I found a rock I could stand on and told them to stand together and "look guy-ish"... and this is the result :)

I'm so happy we were able to get some great family shots for you, L... even if we had to wait a year to do so!
