Just the week prior, I had been helping at our church's Women's Retreat. It was a great weekend away, and I had been busy helping with the music and also teaching a small photography workshop. Kerry had been there that weekend, and by the time I had gotten home and checked my work emails - there was one from Kerry.
She was hoping to get a family photoshoot in quickly - as her daughter was expecting her own little girl in a few short weeks. This wasn't a photoshoot that could be put off ... the baby would come with or without me capturing it ... So, book it - we did.
This family was full of easy-teasing - and it was a lovely thing to capture the candid-style images Kerry had wanted of her family ...
... the trickier thing was trying to get a posed photo with them all looking and not talking with each other *laughing* ...
... they were much more at ease, just being with each other ... rather than worrying about me and smiling for my camera.
Terry and Kerry are originally from back east - and actually from all over - but eventually settled on the Coast. They had been a part of a church in the city, but have been faithfully attending the same church as myself for over a decade.
I love taking photos of "parents" ... as one myself, I know that it's far more common to have photos of the kids, rather than of yourselves ...
Christina glowed ...
... and Patrick. Well - a 15 year old guy tends to hate these kinds of things. But he was obliging *grin* and by the end ... I actually think he didn't mind my shutter at all.
A big "thank you" to Terry and Kerry ... and also to Christina and Patrick *wink* ... for hanging out with me and my camera. It was such a pleasure getting to know you during our shoot ... and hey - see you on Sunday *wink*!!
