I had so much fun with this awesome family at the Del Mar Fair. It's actually the San Diego County Fair, but any true blooded Californian will never call it that. :) When I had the idea to hit up the fair I really wanted to concentrate on raw moments with this family. It wasn't a family session in the true sense of the word, but more or less a documentation of the time they shared together while enjoying the fair. I really love how this session turned out. Here are a few of my favorites. Kelly, the super fun mom, is a photographer too, and Brian is a photographer for the USMC. How sweet is that?
Quick question...do you know where the title of my post comes from? Let me know by leaving a comment. I'll pick a winner on Friday morning, so get those comments in by Thursday midnight. :) The winner will get a lil surprise in the mail. :) And I know I'm being ambitious, but if we get over 25 comments I'll pick another winner.

(07.20.09 @ 08:34 PM)After seeing the title of the latest post ... I decided on a chapter or two from a book about a friendly spider and a famous pig for a bedtime story. :) Oh gosh Zak ... I totally love these! Gosh, wish you could have come to the fair with me! I love that flare too!!! Beautiful family!
(07.21.09 @ 12:09 AM)I just love the colors and lights of a fair, and I especially love when little kiddos have big eyes from taking all the excitement in. The photos are fun and fresh feeling, and are just joyful to look at.
(07.21.09 @ 06:56 AM)Love the first one with the little guy pointing and Dad looking in amazement. Sweet moment! :)
(07.21.09 @ 08:18 AM)I love the approach you took of capturing their time together :) These are lovely!

(07.28.09 @ 02:32 PM)OH MY GOD ZAK!!! I SHOT THEM!! LOL. I just about fell out of my FREAKING CHAIR when I saw this post. When they visited Dallas last year around the 4th of July, I shot them downtown. LOL. SMALLLLLLLLLLL world. Aren't they a sweet couple? I haven't met the kiddos but they are so cute!!
(07.30.09 @ 05:56 PM)Oh man! I have never seen wider eyes than these little sweethearts have... in pretty much every image. So joyful, so innocent, so darned ADORABLE! Talk about wide eyed wonder at all they see... literally. My heart just swelled and my throat tightened. (I have 2 little boys too!)! GORGEOUS captures Zak. You were right ON IT.
(08.02.09 @ 06:40 AM)Doing my part to get you to 25! :) I love sessions centered around a group activity. The kids' expressions say it all. Well done!
