Welcome to the blog.
My wife rocks!
Getting to know Matt and Mitra was a lot of fun. The thing that was most impressive to me though, was how tough Mitra was, out in the below freezing weather. I felt like my hands were going to freeze off and I had a coat and boots on.
Matt lives in China while Mitra lives in California. So as you can imagine when they get together its hard to separate them. We did this shoot at Matt’s grandparent’s cabin. The location was just beautiful.
I met the Cervantez family because they won a Family photo session with me, from their elementary school fundraiser. Actually DeeAnn, the mom, grew up near my mom’s family. I was hoping to get some good blackmail on my mom but sadly she didn’t have anything. It was fun working with these guys. I was even able to get a good smile out of the oldest son, Garritt, even though his mom said he wasn’t excited to have his picture taken.
I teach a sunday school class of 17 to 19 year olds, and a couple weeks ago I mentioned that I would be taking some senior pictures of Brianna. A few of the boys in the class smiled and one of them finally asked sheepishly, “Can we have one?” I just laughed and said, “you wish”.
I really enjoyed hanging out with Brianna and her mom, and I think these turned out really good.
