Family Fun in West Seattle

My husband’s ex-coworker, Hector, called me a few weeks ago wanting to surprise his wife with beautiful pictures of their two kids.  Turns out, it was harder for him to sneak the kids away from her than he thought, so he turned it into a beautiful family photoshoot.  His wife, Mindy, owns a law firm with her brother, Thomas.  They brought along Thomas and his family to get their office Christmas pictures.

Two families = Double the fun!

We started out above Alki beach in West Seattle on a cold and windy day.  These guys were SUCH good sports, though!  Here’s Hector, Mindy, Isola and Jacek:

This is Thomas, Jeanette and Elsa, who is THE BIGGEST diva I’ve ever met in my entire life.  What a little show off she was!  SO CUTE!!!!

The girls found some time to play in between shots….

We decided we didn’t want to deal with the icy wind anymore, so we headed back to Thomas and Jeanette’s house for some Christmas tree shots.  (On a funny side note, the lighting I used here was 2 regular household lamps held up by whomever wasn’t in the picture.  Thanks, guys, for being my lighting assistants!!!!)

Thanks, guys, for being so much fun to photograph, and for being such good sports about the awful weather!
