It's really ironic to me that I claim to be on 'break,' but this is probably the most I've blogged ever. Maybe if I told myself that I was on 'break' more often, I would update this thing every day. Then again, maybe not.
I'm actually really happy to blog on 'break!' These Love Through the Lens session have been so fun and fulfilling for Ben and I. Not only do we feel awesome about being able to participate in such an amazing cause, but we have also had the opportunity to work with some truly fabulous people. It's been particularly special to me because many of these people have been in my life for a long time. I love that we're able to spend time with - and provide photos for - people who have brought so much joy into my world. :)
Included in that group of people is the Bornemann family. :) The foursome consists of Steve, Phyllis, Kaitlyn and Derek. The Bornemann's have been close friends of my family's for years. We have a connection through Lake Aurora (it's quite obvious that LA is a pretty significant location for me ;)), and they are some of the greatest people that I know! Phyllis and Steve work at the camp, and the dedication and hard work that they put into that place is more than admirable.
That same devotion is evident in their family bond. There is a lot of love and laughter shared between the four of them, and that spills over onto anyone who has the pleasure of being around them. Their comfortable togetherness is infectious - you can't help but have a good time around their family. :)
The wonderful staff at Lake Aurora surprised Phyllis and Steve with a LTTL session for Christmas, so Ben and I had the chance to photograph these guys at - where else?! - Lake Aurora. ;)
Steve, Phyllis, Kaitlyn, and Derek - We are so happy that we got to hang with you all today - it's always a blast! :) Thanks for making our job a piece of cake! You guys are awesome!
Enjoy some shots from the day!
Talking and interacting with one another with a huge camera pointed in your face could be a little awkward...but this shot makes it seem like it's the most normal thing ever. ;)
They're so photogenic! Seriously!
...and the apples don't fall far from the trees. :)
'So cute!' - right, guys? ;) Pretty sure this is my favorite group shot of the day.
Love this.
Kaitlyn and Derek. :)
Steve and Phyllis. :)
Sometimes I feel like Ben comes onto shoots for the sole purpose of being ridiculous and entertaining people, but then he grabs shots like this and I am reminded that he does actually contribute occasionally. ;)
These make me smile. :) 23 years together and going strong - inspiring!
I think I'm over my limit of :)'s on this post, but this photo just deserves one. :).
**We still have a couple of LTTL sessions left! If you'd like more info check out the blog post by clicking here. Then shoot us an e-mail to get something set up! We have gift certificates available for purchase as well! :)**
