Suman & Melanie have a typical issue when it comes to making family portraits - it has been a LONG TIME, in part because life can be so busy! And their son is so crazy busy with sports (hockey) and just finding that time is hard to do - but we made it happen :) One outfit, 30 minutes, at their home, in between work and evening activities :) And it was perfect!

This is all Melanie wanted - a current family portrait :)

But we had some fun too :)

And I really wanted to get a fun portrait of Kaden at this age,

and he was amenable :)

He did his tattoo himself :)

He is in town for the summer, then back to his East Coast high school for serious hockey players in the Fall -

These summer days are long and the beautiful "golden hour" stretches deep into the evening on weekday nights!

If you'd like family portraits,

call / write / text me

we can make that happen :)

Thank you, Suman, Melanie & Kaden!

I had fun!
