We loved getting to meet your family.

Your little girl is so precious!

We can’t wait for you to see the rest of your pictures.

We had a lot of fun putting this one together.

Thanks to everyone who participated.

You have such a sweet family.

We loved grandpa’s sense of humor.

Jason was so kind with his niece.

And to top it off, you are all so beautiful.

What more could you ask for in a family?

With a new marriage, twin baby boys, and a precocious five-year-old, you’re definitely kept busy.

It is very evident, though, that both of you share equally in the work.

And if there is anything you ever need to know, just ask your daughter. I think she knows just about everything.

It was a blessing for us to get to know you better and witness the love you have for each other and your children. You are inspiring.

Your family doesn’t need any lessons in having fun.

And with more Megans than we could shake a stick at, it would have been easy for us to keep everyone’s names straight.

If it weren’t for the triplets, that is.

It was a bit cold, but you’re going to love your pictures.

The prediction was for a 30% chance of rain. The sky was overcast, but it didn’t really look all that threatening. So we decided it would be fun to throw our love seat in the back of the truck and head out for some family pictures with Jayson and Megan and their children. We first stopped at the college and borrowed the grand piano to take some pictures of the children playing the piano and their violins. This was my favorite shot of that series.

When we left, we realized that the couch, sitting in the back of the pickup, had been drenched by the rain. It was still coming down, but fairly lightly, so we decided to set out for more pictures. We stopped at a field that we had found a few days before and asked permission to use. Everything was a bit wet and soggy, but they were all great sports.

You can’t really tell from the pictures, but everyone was slowly getting soaked. We decided it was now or never, so we pulled out the couch, wiped it down as well as we could, and grabbed a few more shots before calling it a day.

By this time the rain was starting to show on their clothes and hair, and everyone was starting to get a bit chilly, so we decided to head for home. Unfortunately, the car battery had died in all the fun, and we had to find someone nice enough to give us a jump start.

We don’t mind a bit that we got rained out last time and had to schedule another session with you.

Your family is so photogenic that it makes us look good just having you in our pictures.

We really enjoy being with your family and seeing your love and happiness.

Thanks for trusting us to photograph your precious growing family.

We were recently invited to a little cabin up near the resort of Tamarack to take some family pictures. The little cabin is bigger than most people’s homes, and was the nicest home I’ve ever been in, hands down. I was absolutely amazed at how well the cabin was designed, built, and furnished. And it’s even more amazing when you realize that it was designed and built by the owners. I was too slack-jawed to think about getting any shots of the house to show off here, but many of the pictures were taken indoors, so you can catch some of the cabin in the backgrounds of those shots. Here’s a picture of George, the madman behind the cabin’s design and construction.

This is his lovely wife, Susan.

And here is the whole family.

The girls tell me that they all got to have input into the design and furnishing of the cabin, so it was a really great family project.

I’m not sure I know of any other family where everyone will be laughing practically the entire time.

It was a great idea to use this old car in the pictures. It has a lot of character, and somehow it seems to match that of your family.

Although I don’t know the history of that car, it almost seemed like it was a part of the family, too.

Thank you for your kindness and your giving hearts.

There were 46 of you, if I counted correctly.

Each family was beautiful.

And with the laughter, and the open hearts, and the good natured relaxed attitudes you had…

we felt, after just a few short hours with you, as if we too were a part of the Wasden clan.
