We go way back

On the first day of preschool, my brother met another little blond boy cute as a button. As it is so easy for boys to make friends, they instantly bonded over their love for soccer and Nintendo. They were inseparable for many years to come...all through grade school, middle school and high school they enjoyed many snowboarding trips together with their dads and overnight soccer tournaments. In college they went their separate ways but always stayed close...after grad school and finally settling down with great jobs, they have reconnected and are now roommates in the city and living the life.

I have enjoyed watching their friendship over the years and was thrilled when I got to document Greg with his family over the holidays.

You may recognize Laurel & Will on the left...I did their engagement session in the summer of 2008.

As we bundled up to go outdoors to use that great fluffy snow as a backdrop, Greg's dad put this outfit on...he was quickly denied by his daughters ;)

Greg and his spunky, firecracker, lawyer girlfriend, Grace.

Mom & Dad...

Laurel & Will were in town from Denver for the holidays.

Sisters! Greg's younger sister, Ellen, has skin like Snow White. It is flawless.

Greg, the man.

The fam.

And we can't forget little Hermosa.

Thank you Brinkmans for a great shoot. It has been great knowing you all these years!
