Sometimes I get to photograph those families that are so completely at ease with one another, and so full of joy that it is contagious. These are my kind of people. I loved my evening with the Hendricksons! Right before their session the sky was blue and the sun was shining, but 5 minutes before their shoot the sky went grey, the temperature dropped about 10 degrees, and the wind picked up. Not great weather for photos, but Meredith and her crew were completely unphased and as sweet as can be. We laughed, we played, we froze to death, and we got some really beautiful images of this fun family. And the way this gorgeous momma looks at (all three) of her guys... it absolutely melted my heart.

And PS, how cute are these Christmas Jersies with everybody's family nickname on the back! Such a cute idea.
