Swanson Session: Blaine Family Photography

Recently I was delighted to get a phone call from Denise, mom to Leah and Kyle and wife to Rick.  She told me that she  had seen the work I had done for the Marra Family and their son, Nick, and wanted to discuss a family session for her family and dog, Sammy.  It is always an honor to hear that a client is happy with your work, and to have someone else want to book me based upon that is doubly so.  

Because the Swanson family is neighbors of the Marra's we decided to meet up in the same location to capture some of the last gorgeous leaves of fall at the backdrop to our session.  The weather report called for the first rain in weeks, and it was supposed to rain and be quite chilly all day,  but thankfully the report was about as accurate as weathermen are stereotyped to be-- it was dry and thankfully warm enough to be comfortable.  


How great are they?  Even Sammy the dog stood really well for this shot!


Mom and son.  Their whole family is super active with football, hockey, golf and a whole slew of other sports.  It was a feat just to get them all at a free moment, and wonderful to get the chance to celebrate their family.



Sammy did so well and even managed to pose a few times.  It is great to include even the furry family members, especially when they are as well-behaved as Sammy.


Surprisingly, on a day that was supposed to be rainy all day, the light was still bright enough to get in their eyes during this shot, but I think that the result is so cute, so hopefully they will say it was worth it!
