Family Travel Photo Session

Sometimes I feel like the luckiest person on the planet when I arrive to a photography session and the family is just so much fun and full of love and great energy. This travel photoshoot in Hawaii did not disappoint. The entire family (including the parents) were are such free spirits. They jumped in the water, explored, told stories and we explored the jungle together.

As a photographer based in Colorado, it’s not often I get to explore beaches and jungles during my sessions! So this travel session was extra special fro my first trip to Hawaii. It definitely gave me the itch to travel!

Jennifer and her family have stayed busy playing games, taking family walks, and Disney + . She said the hardest part of social distancing has been keeping their kiddos away from their friends.

Brandy | #PorchProject

Brandy and her beautiful fam are social distancing with family meals & movie nights. She said it's been challenging showing her kids enough stress so they take it seriously, but not letting on as to just how scared she is so she doesn't send them into a panic. It's a delicate balance keeping a household feeling safe and happy.

Marlaina, Sean, Sienne and Amavi | #PorchProject

Marlaina, Sean, Sienne and Amavi are staying busy with indoor cruises on their Little Tykes car, and listening to the Trolls soundtrack. The hardest part for them has been not basing able to take their very active toddler to the park

Julia | #PorchProject

Julia and her family are staying busy hanging out inside doing crafts, movies, games, free play. They go on walks when it’s nice out. She said the most challenging thing for her family has been being isolated from friends and family and the lack of adult interaction.

Erin | #PorchProject

Erin and her fam are spending time baking, enjoying family, surviving, and working. She said it's been challenging trying to squeeze everything in and the anxiety of the unknown.

Katie | #PorchProject

Katie said the outside chaos has forced so much wonderful family time. She and her amazing family have been hanging out around the kitchen and unfinished basement. They have a ping pong table, a lot of gym stuff and an art corner. They also hang out with their 3 Frechies, Lady Annabelle (1.5) Sir Oliver (1.5) and sit Henry Rollins (almost 1).

They do homework, bake, and cook, and she said: "iIt's been really delightful actually." Her son loves being online on the computer with his friends and her daughter was even allowed to download SnapChat (only until life returns to normal) she and her friends laugh and giggle all day long about the most random things. :)

She said the most challenging part is thinking about the crushing sadness of the sick and their families. Katie is furloughed, but that isn't what makes her sad. She said sometimes she cries when she is alone thinking about the hardships some people are going through.

She thought that her son missing his 16th birthday trip to Hawaii and her daughter missing seeing Billie Eilish for her 12th birthday would crush them, but that they’re not even concerned in the slightest

<3 This family is an inspiring and optimistic one. I'm lucky to have met them during my Porch Project journey.
