Not long ago we met up with the beautiful Lemond family for some family photo fun at Bethany Lakes Park in Allen. I was a little leery before the session because it was windy (notice the italics demonstrating how windy it was) and cold, and I almost called Angela to reschedule, but I'm glad we toughed it out 'cause I think their images turned out awe. some. And when I say cold, it musta been upper 40's/low 50's; I don't wanna hear any flack from you northerners who are thinkin' right now, 'Cold? Pffft...he doesn't know what could is! All I can say is pipe down. It was in the mid-70's the week before, so it's all relative. It's kinda like when it's in the 20's and 30's for a couple months and then you get a 55 degree day and everyone's wearin' shorts and t-shirts outside... only the opposite. Anywho... I met Angela several months ago when I went to her for a couple consultations about my [unhealthy] eating habits. She's a dietitian and nutrition therapist, and she's fantastic at what she does... she was super nice and supportive in helping to find ways to 'encourage' me to make a few changes in my eating/exercise habits. In fact, she basically did everything she could to get me to make a few more healthy habits/choices short of actually eating and exercising for me. That's plan B. The great thing about Angela is that she felt like I friend from the moment I walked in, and we laughed and joked all the way through my appointments... some of that laughing may have been a result of me contemplating the idea of going to bed before 1am every night and getting 7 hours sleep. Not sure. Anyway, her family is, of course, a picture of health. And fun. And love. Here are some of my favorites from the session.

Evan was pretty good at avoiding the camera, but I caught him here.

Isn't Hannah beautiful? I asked her to tell me a story and this is what I got... priceless.

This image was a minor miracle. Kids + pets + cold + wind usually equals disaster, but serendipity found us for a split second. From left to right: Ali (the Yorkie), Hannah, Angela, little Evan, Jeff and Tucker.

Love this image. Looks like they should be in a GAP ad.

My favorite kind of light combined with a special moment between mom & daughter.

Not sure what she was saying here, but my money's on "Afflaaaaaac!"

Thanks again, Angela & Jeff... we had a ton o' fun with you guys, and I'm excited for you to see all your images.
