The Winklers

When I really started to get back into photography (after my twin hiatus) the Winklers were living in Shanghai and Hong Kong! We’d been chatting on Facebook at the time and had been planning this shoot way back when. Well they finally made their way back to the states and got settled into a beautiful home in my dream neighborhood and alas it was finally time to shoot. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that we did this whole shoot right in their little community, picture perfect and yet so meaningful. Now don’t get me wrong, shooting little tiny ones is always fun and their spontaneity makes it exciting but shooting older (I realize “older” is a relative term, but with my own kids being 4, 4 and 1.5, the Winkler kids felt all kinds of mature 😉 ) kids is so great. Especially these ones! And I can honestly say I have never had such real smiles and giggles come so naturally, it was amazing! Seriously, all I had to say was ‘everyone look at each other’ and they would all burst into laughter. Although pictures often tell a different story, family photos can often be stressful…but this shoot was anything but. Aubrey had the model poses down, Colin was full of energy and the biggest smiles and Quentin, I mean look at that face! I am so glad you guys are back because I’m going to look forward to this shoot every year. Thank you guys for an awesome afternoon and showing me around your beautiful neighborhood!
