Common Bonds.

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Family has been on my mind lately, being that one of my closest family members is very ill and I've been spending a lot of time with my extended family in the past few days. So, it was fitting that my shoot today was a family shoot. This family was a lot of fun. The mom and dad had just celebrated 33 years of marriage, which is definitely something to be celebrated with a romp on the beach and fun photo shoot with your family!

We shot at Nagawaukee Park and were able to take advantage of the rain holding off to get some very cute shots on the small beach, piers, and wooded areas. Plus, the park was holding some sort of Revolutionary War re-enactment which was very neat to see! Very up my alley.

Hope the family enjoys this quick sneak peek! I have more shoots coming up this week, including a senior portrait session later and then a much needed weekend off!!

I called this the quintessential Wisconsin shot....on the pier, by the lake, in your WI shirts!

33 years and going!
