I am so happy that this shoot was actually able to happen! Roxanne was given a gift certificate for a family portrait session for Christmas by her son and (now) soon-to-be daughter-in-law Haley. Roxanne and I had been going back and forth since January on dates/locations/times/etc. We finally settled on a date a couple of weeks ago, that would allow for all of her family members to be in the photo. As is so often the case when there isn't really a feasible backup plan, the weather started to become a bit of a concern. But we decided together we would give it a go, since it looked like the skies were going to hold off. And they did, just almost to the moment that we were done shooting. With just a few minutes of light misting, we were able to get through the whole shoot before the downpour came! Sometimes the Lord is really gracious! I loved shooting these guys. They were all a lot of fun and that always makes my job a delight. I was really happy with the outcome, and from the enthusiastic email I received from Roxanne the day after she received the photos, I think she was too:-) Yay!
Our shoot was at the Lee family homestead in Wake Forest. It was such a cool location, because of the family history and the rustic appeal.
I loved this huge tree!
Favorite. I think they look like a family band :-)
Each time I look at this picture, I think it is crooked... but really, it is just the building that is crooked!
After we had shot the extended family, we just focused on Roxanne and her gang.
Cute little love birds!
I told them that this was the sort of stuff I make engaged couples do!
See?
I dig this manly shot with the oil drum! They have a service station down the street, and oil is the family business.
Thank you, Lee family! It was so nice to meet all of you!
