Adam + Cindy: Family

The Cobbler’s kids have shoes! We found another cobbler, our good friends Tim and Asharae, to do a family photo session with us a few weeks ago. They were in town to shoot a wedding and we had the privilege of hosting them for the week, so one night we headed out to Cantigny and they captured these beautiful images for us. Here’s the full gallery.

The Mother of My Children: Family

It’s hard for me to put into words what a wonderful mother Cindy is to our four children. I’ve started this blog post half a dozen times already and I keep starting over. Not sure where to start, not sure where to go next, not sure how to praise my wife without sounding cheesy.

Our little Emily is 14 months old and still doesn’t speak a word. She understands what we say to her and she communicates with us in squawks and screams, but you can see her frustration as she’s on the cusp of speaking real words. I have that same sense of frustration, but instead of sighs and groans, I revert to photos I took tonight after dinner…

Jen + Ryan: Family

These are our dear friends, Jen and Ryan. Adam went to Wheaton College with them, and even spent a summer in Mali (West Africa) with them. Needles to say, living in close quarters in a third world country is a very bonding experience.

Fast forward a few years, and we all end up married, working, and having children. Jen and Ryan got their family kicked off with (from L to R) Audrey, Nathan, and Camille. They have such sweet children and our kids are all good friends. We spend a lot of time together, and have even enjoyed sleepovers and vacations through the years.

Their most recent addition was a set of twins, Colin and Andrew. They’re two years old now and provide non-stop action! It’s no wonder that everybody in their house is asleep by 9pm.

About 30 minutes into our photo session I started to wonder if it was statistically impossible for 7 people (with two-year-old twins) to all look in the same direction at the same time, but we had a great time and captured some great images!

Asharae + Tim: Engagement

Tim and Asharae have become dear friends over the last year. Asharae shot my first wedding with me last fall and I’m looking forward to the privilege of shooting their wedding this summer. It was a crisp, cold day so we started out at a local coffee shop before we headed out into the snow.

They’re so full of joy and laughter that it makes them so easy to shoot. We had a great time this afternoon and it shows in the photos. Click the image below for the full gallery.
