Erin contacted me looking to get some family portraits done before her husband Russel was deployed with the Army. We decided to meet up at Cico Park. As the time approached the weather looked pretty bleak with some rain clouds showering our portrait canvas. Just in time though the clouds left and the sun came out giving us some beautiful early dusk light. I had a great time photographing this super fun family. Our time consisted of a few full family portraits and then we moved onto the playground and Russel and Erin played with their two beautiful daughters. I hope you enjoy theĀ following photos. Russel and family thank you for your service to this country!

Our location after the afternoon shower, a little wet but we can work with that!

A little water can create a great reflective surface, these are a couple of my favorite shots!
I hope you enjoyed the photos, I truly enjoyed capturing them! Thanks again Russel and Erin for choosing me to capture your memories!
