The H Family

I'm jumping forward in time to post some photos from a shoot last weekend. A quick scroll through these images and you get to know the H family: funky, cool, loving, adventurous, unique, and up for anything. A few of the kids in this family are moving away within the next months--so they wanted some family photos while they were all still together. My sister had dreads for almost 10 years, so I always have a special affection for dreadlocks. So much fun to photograph!

A sweet situation for a photographer: interesting, relaxed people as subjects and a cool location to play around in. The H family lives literally next door to this building--it's in the middle of being renovated (stalled), and they got permission and the key to get inside. Throw in an old retro couch from their basement and we were rolling. We had to climb a decently tall ladder to get to the second floor. Nobody (okay, maybe me) even flinched.

It wasn't a warm day (notice the snow)...but these guys were non-complaining, fun, and totally loving with each other. It was hard for me to choose which images to post!
