It’s always a treat to see this family – not only because I’ve been photographing Erika and Emmanuel for so long, and not only because their kid is the perfect combination of the two of them and is SO funny and adorable, and not only because there are always extremely cute animals involved (shout out to Beans and Habanero who made appearances this year) – but because someone is always wearing a bowtie and because we embrace whatever life throws at us, including a very rainy day. Halloween is also usually involved in some manner – this year we showcased our seasonal spirit by donning a grim reaper costume while holding a black cat, pretending to have a pumpkin head, showing off a skeleton friend, drawing a large Halloween mural, and of COURSE pretending to be a family full of the friendliest, cutest zombies (which was a throwback to Erika and Emmanuel’s wedding photos, which their kid saw and wanted to replicate, which is even cuter). No one knows how to have fun and seize the day quite like them and I’m just happy to be a part of it.
