As I walked into the back patio of Nancy and Fred Kinsie's gorgeous home, I was greeted by a table full of family and an offering for some cake and a drink. I accepted the cake, but regretfully turned down the drink...after all I was working. The family had gathered to celebrate father's day and 2 family birthdays. The mood was all about fun, I felt right at home. In runs shy, sweet little G, who hid her face in dad's chest and whispered in his ear. G is the same age as my Maria and just as shy. When the opportunity came up, I asked her if she wanted to take some special pictures all by herself. I was hoping to bring her out of her shell, quietly - just the 2 of us. Mom and dad were only a few feet away, but it made all the difference. We discussed Dora and the new Disney movie Tangled - and I managed to snap a few adorable shots of her.
The last few shots of the evening were of Nancy and Fred. I asked them about their family - they all seemed so close. They responded " we don't know how we did it". Darn...I was looking for some answers. How do you keep a family so close all these years later? I suppose it has something to do with dinners on the back patio and creating a mood of love, energy and fun. It was a pleasure to photograph this wonderful family.
