Aside from a painted portrait of 19-year-old Dad (with a truly cool backstory), this family hadn’t had professional portraits done in years (apparently the last time was while someone went through a semi-goth faze and there was black hair involved…?) so I was, of course, delighted to photograph this hilarious and fun family. The holidays are naturally such a great time to come together for family portraits, but the quiet days of early January are wonderful, also, as kids, teens, and young adults prepare to head back to school after the hubbub has died down.

As usual, leave some love for this family in the comments below!
