A few weeks back, Sally Jackson got in touch with me about doing family photos (for a beautiful spot over their dining table) and updating some headshots for Tyler and Justine. And of course I was stoked to see the whole family. We shot at the Yucaipa Regional Park. They also agreed to let me license the images through iStock, which usually leads to a few minutes of random fame here and there. :)

When we got there, we were told they were actually closing early – leaving us approximately 10 minutes to do the shoot! Not enough time. Well, we got in and started shooting, and definitely lost track of time. By the time we got out, there were still people leaving so it was all good. My lovely wife helped on the shoot as well, be sure to check out her photos when you have a chance.

Anyway, here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

The whole time… Sid was cracking jokes, I was laughing the whole time.

If I remember correctly, I think they will be making Hawaiian Chicken when we come over to deliver the photos… can’t wait!

One of the highlights of my year, every year, is getting to shoot this family! Ryan Low was my RD when I was at Biola, and I spent a lot of time with him and the Low family just talking, eating, watching 24, and taking photos. A Christmas photo shoot became sort of a tradition, and the time came this year where we went at it again. This was probably the most fun shoot we’ve had yet!

Little Emily has come a long way from being such a whiner to the most helpful girl, grabbing Will when asked, and smiling beautifully!

Beautiful mom and daughter. The kids definitely got mom’s eyes. Sorry Ryan… but this is just okay with me.

I am going to quote from Ryan’s facebook: “it’s so funny because it looks like he was having a great time, but atually he was being a royal pain in the butt. There were a few times I wanted to throw him in a tree. But this was a good photo.”
