This family was so much fun to work with and well worth the wait.  We were supposed to meet in early April so we could set up an elaborate ruse in which the parents would THINK they were having an engagement session at the place where they got engaged over twenty-five years ago, but really, it was going to be a surprise family portrait session.  But then the mom found us out and decided, as all moms do, that she all she wanted was family portraits in the home where she has raised four beautiful children (and one beautiful dog).  So therefore, what started out as a reenacted-engagement session at Rutgers Gardens in April ended up being a full family session in their home in July. 

It could not have ended more perfectly.
