What Makes Holidays Special...

Family time is what makes the Holiday Season so special. We had the fortune of photographing the Larocca family today. Jenn called us back in the Summer and wanted to schedule a family session over the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. It's hard to imagine that time has already passed, and the session is already over. Anyway, Jenn wanted a professional family portrait session because they never had one done before. We photographed her son, Owen, earlier this year so we had already worked with her. The family consists of Mom and Dad Larocca, 4 biological sons and spouses, 10 grandkids; totaling 20 members in all. It's so wonderful to see how one family turns into other families, then get together to share in one big family... sounds funny doesn't it. Anyway, we ended up photographing 23 different people during the session, my light power source went out during the 2nd family grouping, but thanks to 75 feet of extension cord, and a local ice machine, it all worked out. The images turned out really nice, and I'm sure the families will love 'em. Here's one of the entire Larocca family... Thanks again, Jenn, for the opportunity to create this priceless heirloom... a.k.a. Captured Keepsake....

WOW, fantabulous job Steve & Michelle!! You are right I worried about this photo shoot for months. Steve kept assuring me everything would be just fine. He was right! We hadn't taken a professional family portrait in almost 15 years, which was before half of the grandchildren even existed! Thanksgiving is a special holiday for the LaRocca family because that is the one time of year the entire family is present at the same time. Steve was gracious enough to agree to work with us the morning after Thanksgiving (instead of shopping!) Steve and Michelle are both so patient and calm. That really helps when you are trying to get 20 people in one shot. Their professional eye for photography is amazing. We are so grateful for your talent. Everything went so well yesterday, we all agreed to try and make this an annual event, so book us for the next 20 years!!!! We love you guys, you are like family. Have a great Christmas. I can't thank you enough for sharing your Thanksgiving holiday with us. Jenn LaRocca
