Favorite family shoot!!

These guys kill me. They are a current day Brady Bunch, and if I didnt tell you that you would NEVER have guessed that the children were mixed of 2 families as they blend so well! These two parents met at a sad time in each of their lives, befriended each other, they leaned on each other, and relied on each other to help the other muddle through the bad hand they were dealt in life. One day they decided to make a go of a relationship, he with his 3 children and she with hers, and that was nearly 5 years ago. Together they are a family of 8, 4 boys, 4 girls, all children in nearly 1 year succession of the next! Talk about a crazy, wild, fun, loud, and loving household! These photos are a prize to me, a loving interpretation of their family.

Madd Maddox and my Obsession with B&W's

Traditionally I dont shoot and blog the shoot a week later. After the shoot I deliver the photos, let the client send out their announcements, or whatever the shoot was for, then a week after I blog about the work. But this, couldn't wait. There are no announcements being sent, only photos shared with an agency for this little handsome boys' possible future in modeling. Could. Not. Wait. This guy was intense, full of energy, and fun. I hope these photos are what he needs to make his life his own. BTW, Im totally and completely obsessed with black and whites, as you will notice.
