Hufford Family Portrait

my mother once told me that "do what makes you happy and others will see you as you are and want to surround themselves with your spirit." case and point with the hufford family.


karen and i photographed the families niece/cousin's wedding a few weeks back and so they contacted us to photograph their family. honored, not only a compliment but knowing that the family has not had a "family portrait" since the youngest was an infant. the youngest is now a senior in high school!


it is because of all the things that occupy our lives that we sometimes can't stop the locomotive to catch ones breath, let alone slow it down a bit to take a moment to capture our family on canvas.


for this very reason, the choice to simply not take pictures and call ourselves photographers but to capture the essence of ones heart...this is what makes our photography and philosophy so poignant.
