Family Days

My friend, Cindy, had been anticipating and planning to gather her family together to do a family photo shoot with me for some time. This is something they have never done before. :) Lucky me! We chatted about what to wear (comfortable clothes, be yourself), where to meet and when (morning at Hopewell Furnace in Elverson), and basically, what to expect (have fun!). She let me know what she was hoping to capture as well. I think they were pleasantly surprised with the results...

I brought along some bubbles for the kids' enjoyment. I think the "kid" inside this dad had more fun!  



Their son learned how to feed a horse on this special day too. {I gave up my lunch ~ some sacrifices are completely worth the moment!}

Just love the expressions on these faces...



Eric & Cindy recently celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. They are devoted to each other and their family. For better or for worse, they have built a loving family life. Such warmth surrounds them and their children.



I have to say, I think this shot is one of my very favorites from the day...

and look at these beautiful girls! They have a tight bond of sisterhood.

Here are all the ladies together...

This is my favorite group shot from the day...

Thank you again, my friends, for a wonderful morning spent together capturing your happy faces. I am grateful for this chance you gave me as your photographer, and for all the trust you put in me. It is a humbling experience, which makes me LOVE this work even more! I always learn something new while getting to know my subjects. I am forever thankful for your fun, easy-going spirits. It was a joy I will never forget!

Happy 25th Anniversary to Eric & Cindy!!

With love and friendship,

always,

Barb
