There have been many blessings in my business...but this family is definitely among the biggest.  Not only have they been so supportive of what I do....but they tell all of their friends and family about it too!  They are nothing short of wonderful.  I'm not sure what I'd be doing if it weren't for them...probably still practicing law (like 4 out of the 7 people in these photos)!  But, because of them, and others like them....my business took off...and I was given the opportunity to pursue my dream of running my own business...Fishtale.

When I realized that we'd all be down in Mexico for the same wedding at the same time...I decided that we had to get some family photos in!! You may recognize several of these couples....as I have photographed a few of them in the past...and will be photographing Kevin & Katie's wedding in Napa next spring. But, to get to capture them as one giant family was a first for me.  They are a tight-knit group.  They are supportive and loving to each other, are all extremely intelligent, entrepreneurial, talented....and just plain fun...most would say they are a dream family. 

I love them.

After my whispered suggestion for Kevin to push everyone toward the waterline...I caught this reaction. While they all had fun facial expressions to watch...my favorite part was Bill's reaction.  For those of you who don't know Bill...he is a highly respected attorney and is a serious partner at his law firm...he always focuses on the job at hand...and there was no exception here....his face and focus on the camera remained the same...and it melted my heart...

Note...Bill is still focused on smiling at the camera here...no one can crack this guy's focus!
