{The Facts of Life TV Show}
Bare with me as we wander through childhood nostalgia. I could not figure out what part of this song, from one of my childhood favorite tv shows, to put as my quote so I put the whole darn song and it probably will now be stuck in your head all day. My apologies. It just seemed fitting for this lovely family shoot with such a genuine and loving family of five. Anyone with family, family with small children, family with lots of people....Ok just family in general know that the facts of life involve simple pleasures, getting through your day, sniffles, tears, running to work and praying your kids don't miss the bus and realizing you have pj and j on your nice work t-shirt after you drop them off and walk into work. Yup. Sigh.
....and then at the end of the day, flopping at the couch, staring at your own facts of life and realizing as you trace through your day {the parts you can remember} that it is all about you. A bit philosophical? Zen? I guess I used to be a counselor so you can frame it in your own way. For me, this family was flat out fun to photograph. Not only are they simply beautiful, but the love they have for each other was not hard to capture. That fact of life cannot be faked. It is a blessing and I simply feel so lucky to be able to document these moments for life and print. It was simply wonderful to see you again Jen. Thank you for bringing your family to the studio and spending time among the love, laughter and chaos.
