Not too long ago I met up with the Bodnars to capture a few images of this energetic family. Jen was referred to me by my friend Amy, so we all headed out to a park close to downtown to see if I could keep up 3 boys for 2 hours. My assessment? I need to start working out again if I'm going to continue to photograph fun families like this. Seriously. Here's a few sneak peek images from our session. I love this first image. I just told everyone to pile on the bench, and here's what I got. Casual. Relaxed. Real.

Owen, Will and Ben just hangin; out on the bridge.

As you might imagine, we didn't do a lot of 'posed' family shots, but I think that's what's great about these. This is not an "okay-everybody-sit-over-there-look-at-the-camera-and-smile" kind of family. They're very interactive, and I think that's what shows in these images.

Owen and Ben praying that the session would finally end. [grin]

Bill and Jen in a rare moment alone during the session.

Thanks Jen, Bill, Will, Ben and Owen! Can't wait for you guys to see the rest of your images.
