I have been photographing the Anderson family now for more than a decade. Like me, they have two tweenage/teen children that are busy with sports and social activities. And, like me, getting on their family schedule can sometimes be a military operation, especially as parents Jessica and Brett also coach soccer multiple times each week. That’s exactly how we found ourselves almost at Christmas before we scheduled this year’s session.
What a blessing in disguise, however, since we decided to shoot at the family’s Folsom home to avoid the uncertainty of winter weather. The Andersons have a beautiful house and are a wonderful family with an easy-going connection…and so kind. Taylor and Ryan are awesome kids. It was such a privilege to see them in and around the spaces where they get to relax and be themselves together. I loved working with window light, incorporating the canvases from previous sessions in the backdrop, and photographing their home decorated for the Holidays.
