The Gardner Family

Juliette is not only a wife, mom, and business professional… but she’s also a photographer (Check out her fb page for Shaun Michael’s Photography).  I love photographing other photographers, and I consider it the highest compliment to be asked to do family portraits for someone else who shares my passion for this art.  Photographers are willing to do and try anything!  And because they’ve spent so much time on the other side of the lens, they generally have a good idea about what works and what doesn’t and how they want to be represented… plus, their kids know the drill.  🙂  Juliette also asked me to take some professional portraits of her for her own website, and I was thrilled with the chance to do that for her!  We headed out to Sweetwater Creek State Park (I recently posted some other photos from a conceptual shoot I did there in the freezing cold with fine portrait artist, Scarlett Jimison) and it was a gorgeous day.  Juliette’s family is BEAUTIFUL!!!  Her boys have fantastic hair for catching the light, giant dark chocolate eyes, and dimples!!!!  I mean, how much more adorable could a kid possibly get?!  I’ve included a ton of photos because I couldn’t cut myself off.  I was having far too much fun with them.  Please enjoy a little glimpse of what the Gardner family is like, and Juliette…  I hope these photos truly are a blessing to you and your family!  Thank you!!!
