The DeYoung Family

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! I'm just finishing this post as Mindy and I get ready to head out the door and travel down I-5 to stay with my family. We're looking forward to a great long weekend. But enough about me.

This was the second time I've had the honor of taking the DeYoung family's pictures, and it was a delight. I get to see all of their kids in the halls at BCS this year, and I always love getting to interact with kids as a photographer as opposed to a teacher. Here are some shots from our afternoon together.

I can't tell you how many family portrait sessions I have been to where the kids at the end break into a spontaneous stick fight. For the record: these are not supposed to be cute pictures. This is stick fighting, and cute just doesn't cut it. No, these pictures are "cool". These pictures are warrior pictures.
