Posterity

Late last month, just after Thanksgiving, my family and I, along with my best friend Sarah, photography goddess. gathered up at the Washington State University Vancouver campus to take some highly overdue family portraits. One of the delightful little details about Mike and I is the fact that we have had professional photos done every year we have been together. Not a huge deal, but not an element that was in my last few relationships, so I relish it.

2007




And now, 2008







But along with Mike and I, my family was the focal point of the shoot, which was so much fun with Sarah. She and I had scouted the location before hand, so we were aware of fun little spots like the bridge Mike and I are seated on. Her go with the flow and capture the real essence of our family made the shots much more realistic and not so stuffy posy-posy.













I love my family.
