Andrew Jade Photography: Holiday Mini-Session: The Demarbiex Family

Last week I had the pleasure, nay! the honor :), of shooting a mini-session for the Demarbiex family. I did their pictures at Encanto Park on Friday and I got an up-close look at this cool family.

First thing that caught my attention was how mature and respectful all their kids were, from their oldest all the way down to their youngest who was 4 if I remember correctly. They all shook my hand and looked me in the eye when I greeted them... 'hmm' I thought ' that's unusual.' :) Then as the shoot went on, they all LOVED being in front of the camera! This is most strange for family pictures with teenagers who normally think family pictures are 'stupid'. :) I was a teenager not TOO long ago and I remember hating family pictures, so I was so glad to take some pictures of kids who actually cared about pictures and were even goofy and messing around the entire time. What struck me the most, though, was how tight knit the Demarbiex family was; you can tell that they all LIKE being a part of their family, that the kids feel loved by their parents, their parents have raised them well, and they are respected by their kids. As a new parent myself, I pay attention to these kinds of things because it really is the rare family who is put together and not fighting the whole time.

Here are some of my personal favorites from their shoot... enjoy and have a great weekend!
