Urban.Family.Love

A year ago I did pics for a band that practiced at my husbands studio Linear Sound. You can see them on the band’s website American Sly if you are curious. Even though that was a year ago and I have grown a ton as a photographer, I think they still turned out pretty good. Of course it is not too hard to photograph a few handsome guys!

Fast forward to a year later. The singer of the band contacted me and wanted a family session and a session to immortalize the love that his wife and him still have for each other after 10 years of marraige. I was so excited. Unfortunately in this day of age, this is a rare thing. When a couple are still madly in love after 10, 15, 20 years. The reason for my excitement is personal as well as photographically. I have been with my hubby for nearly 15 years, and I can say the same about us. People think we are weird…that is how uncommon it is. We touch, hand hold, hug, etc. We are together 24/7 since we both work at home, and he is my BFF and my soul mate. It was so refreshing to see them together, while shooting, because it reminded me so much of us.

Take that, and add in a munchkin and you have a beautiful family. They were so great too me, and I hope I did them justice in capturing what they wanted. There are plenty more kisses, hugs, and snuggles.

Carly - These are absolutely beautiful! I honestly love every single one of these photos and the first black and white family picture is just magic – the look on the sons face. But you are right, I love it when you can spot ‘it’, and that ‘it’ being the chemistry and love between two people, and especially having it show through your photography and shine out as it has done in this case. You should be really proud of these photographs!!! Beautiful!
