True Colors

Last week my little sister Britta and her clan came out to visit from Pennsylvania. The Kanabies came up to see them and I figured it might be awhile before we were all actually in the same place, so good time to try and take a family picture.

My family isn't really known for their picture taking abilities. There are a certain few people that seem to have a hard time "focusing". Or say, smiling. My friend Wade Haskell very willingly said he would take some photos for us. We were to be Wade's first family photo shoot, and I think we gave him a good glimpse of what that wonderful world holds. Pretty sure he is sticking to wildlife from now on.

I'm sure it's harder to get a good shot the more people are involved, and none of the group pictures came out perfect. But I do think they show off our family's personality, a little quirky.


I do think we got some really great smaller group shots. And I think Wade got some really good ones that show off people's personalities, which is just what I wanted. Not the perfect group picture to hang above the mantle we don't own, but little glimpses of the people I love so dearly and yet don't get to see on as often as I wish. And memories of all of them to look back at fondly.




And there are many more posted on my flickr page.

Yeah Wade! I think he has a good eye for candid photos and that's what best represents our family for sure.

Hey Thanks. Again, I was happy just to have an opportunity to practice, and your whole family was awesome. Seriously, they were fun. And I do like the candid photos way more than the "Everyone look at me and say Cheese," type photos. I'm ready to do it again for any of you, whenever you want.
