it’s a great place to shoot, and has plenty of places for play breaks. -tif

Hannah and I go a long way back.  We used to be high school friends but just recently reconnected.

It was really great to meet your whole family on this shoot.  I cant believe we both have family.

i am getting so old :( – jonathan

…yeh, you are. :)-tifIMG_8681

so i haven’t told you this yet hannah.  you know that ridiculous picture you posted on facebook of you and I?

well someone i work with grabbed it up and used it in a staff luncheon as part of a game show thing we did.

they put the picture up on the big screen in front of the whole company.  so thank you for that ;) – jonathan

I have no idea how people do family pictures for a living. it is seriously hard. Or even child photography.

we have friends who only shoot kids for a living.  I give props to you all.

We love the weddings and engagements -  jonathan

dillon is your average little boy, he dislikes having his picture taken.

having a photographer for a mom doesn’t make things any better.

to see some of hannah’s work click on dillon.  -tif

three faces

I made them squeeze as tight as they could together for this one.

right after this picture dad just about fell over trying to stand how we wanted him to – jonathan

I love this shot, the overpass is a great color, and it’ awesome with the sky.  -tif

meghan is uber adorable!  I have a small obsession with freckles.  -tif

yeah she had some great freckles.  i told her that,  and she expressed her dislike of them.  I don’t get it?

I think she will learn to love them. – jonathan

What great talent!! Amazing pictures of a beautiful family. Hannah sure is blessed.

wow these are some really good pictures. i really like how you used the city as a backdrop. makes them kinda funky which i like. of course you were working with a lovely family, with the cutest kids ever born.
