The Bernard Family

December 3rd, 2009

This was one of those sessions where I had my fingers crossed behind my back the whole time hoping and praying I got one good shot.  One shot of the whole family looking happy.  Being a family photographer is not the easiest job in the world and when you have an 11 month old and a 3 year old things don’t always go as planned.  Lincoln is at that stage where he wants to do everything himself.  Doesn’t want to be held.  He wants to crawl all over the place and be a big boy.  And Ava is just adorable and such a big girl.  But, it’s hard to be 3 and cooperate for an extended period of time :)

Jen, or Jenny B as you may know her, is not only one of the best florists in Orange County she has also become a dear friend.  While we are both busy running our own businesses and raising our families we don’t have a lot of time to lunch or hang out.  But, every time we are together or have a minute to chat on the phone it’s like no time has passed at all.  I just think the world of Jen and think she’s an amazing business woman, mom and friend.  If you want someone who is really invested in you and your wedding, hire Jen.  You won’t regret it!

When I looked through the pictures I was happy to have found that I not only got one good shot, I got several!  In fact as I was putting together the slideshow I’m totally sitting here crying.  I know, I’m a dork.  But, these pictures make me happy!  I hope they make you happy too, Jen and Jason!  Here’s the slideshow!

    I love sunflowers and the van is SO cool! Drew, I have to say, hearing you talk about how you hoped for one good picture made me feel so much better b/c I find myself doing the same with several kids sometimes, it makes me panic a little b/c kids have such a mind of their own! However, you (as always) captured this family beautifully!

    As if you could ever take a bad picture! I know what you mean though about having a session and crossing your fingers for one good shot. Glad to hear you do that too

    These are great! I just did a shoot with a two year old and an eleven month old, I had the same thoughts the whole time too! It was hard, but so fun! I still am in awe at how precise, clear, and sharp your shots are. Amazing!
