I’ve photographed this family one million times now (that might be approximate). I’ve been photographing the kids since they were 6 and 8. Now they’re 15 and 17 (!!!) and can drive cars and boats and have college applications and can almost vote. It’s been a wild ride. They’re still whip-smart. They’re still masters at the cello and reading. They’re still absolutely obsessed with their French Bulldog Simon, who is the best mix of the laziest and the most active dog I know (and the most handsomest, yes you are, Simon, yes you are). They still love Wes Anderson and Star Wars and have grown into the most delightful teenagers and I absolutely adore them. The best part? They still roll their eyes at their parents but now they also roll their eyes at me, which is a great honor and is how I know I’ve been fully integrated into the family. Well, that and the fact that my husband Geoff is in some of their family pictures this year and they seem fine with it. Is Geoff biologically related to any of these people? No. But was he there in a non-professional capacity and invited into their family pictures? Yes he was. I really hope he makes the holiday card.
