Love these guys! We spent a chilly little fall morning walking around the neighborhood path, spotting a heron, playing on the playground, and doing this small child’s favorite activity: running. He runs everywhere. He is so fast and he also likes to loudly proclaim, “runninnnnggggg!!!” as he runs, which I think is important. He’s got big smiles and lots of energy and is also already half my size. I always have a great time photographing Krishna and Dan’s family – they have a great sense of humor, keep things light and easy, and are always a fun time.

I always love photographing self-professed “nerds” because I am also a nerd and usually we can talk about nerdy things together. Kelsie loves musicals, Neal loves board games, they both love ridiculous movies, and so naturally several recommendations were passed between all of us for a bunch of nerdy stuff (everyone – go watch Solarbabies if you want to see something truly amazing and ridiculous). Just felt like being home photographing these folks. Their house is adorable and they have two beautiful and majestic doggos, Tonks and Granger, who became my best friends. Their son, who is a JOY, was quite the smiley and happy photography subject, especially when it came to eating sliced cucumbers, which are his favorite. Loved working with all of these guys and having a photography party in their amazingly wallpapered bathroom.
