I fully intended on not shooting past December 11th this year. As you know, the last couple months out of the year are pretty busy as families get year-end pictures to share with friends and family, and for their Christmas cards. But then Lucy contacted me about a family shoot. Her husband’s family was coming in to town, and it was one of those rare years where everyone was together. Of course I jumped at the chance!
It must have been destiny that it all worked out, because it was POURING up until the day of the shoot. But the day of the shoot was rain-free!
This is Paula, George, Joann, and Dave.
And you recognize these guys, right? Lucy brought along a little toy for Grant, always a great call!
I love this picture of George and Joann…
I told Lucy she needs to be a professional family dresser! Every time I’ve photographed them, they look great!
A few of the kiddos! It’s amazing I saw them just a few weeks ago, and Alec really does look older! Grant was such a sweetie and came up and hugged me at the end of the shoot! What a cutie!
I had this idea all of a sudden to write names in the sand, and Paula and Dave were game for it!


There was this cool cliff area right next to where we were shooting. I didn’t realize until we got across it that it was a little difficult to navigate, and I darn near twisted my ankle jumping from a rock to the sand. But they were all good sports and I was really pleased with the photos. I’ll end the post with this great picture of George and Joann. Thanks for an incredibly fun family shoot!

What a great set of pictures.
Gorgeous shots Courtney! They were exactly what I needed to see on this dark, gloomy rainy day!
