One of my first jobs was working at a Hallmark store. Some of my co-workers were the most hilarious grandmas I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing (besides my own hilarious grandmother). But the bunch of us high schoolers that worked there always had a good time too. One of those friends that I worked at Hallmark with was the guy that grew up to be this dad pictured here. Dusty and I probably haven’t seen each other since we went off to college. But he recently moved back to California and contacted me to schedule a session. It was so great to hear from him. I had so much fun getting to capture an old friend, his beautiful wife and their adorable kids. I postponed their long drive back home by making them stay chatting for way too long after we were finished just because it was so fun catching up with an old friend and seeing the cool life he has created!
