Meet the Dendys. This, folks, could be one of the cutest families Ive ever photographed.
We met up during the holidays for a quick shoot: they just wanted a couple family pictures for their christmas card. That means, we were only really together for about 1/2 hour. But in that time, I can tell you, there was a LOT of laughter!! One of the funniest moments was when I asked just the adults to sit on the ground for a "couples" picture. Dad Dendy looked at me like I was nuts...
"You want me to WHAT?!" Then, Mom Dendy realized that her hubby was wearing ankle socks with his dress shoes. From there, she basically became a shaking blob of laughter on the forest floor for a few minutes, which made me start giggling too! To state the obvious, a family with a good sense of humor is usually pretty easy to shoot. :) This was the moment: (Notice the socks :)
Mom and Dad Dendy have been married for about a year (if I remember correctly,) with two of their gorgeous kids coming from her previous marriage, and two from his. How Brady-esque, no? I hope Im not giving away any family secrets, but the coolest thing was- they met on match.com! And they're both.... NORMAL!!!!!!!!!! (Not to mention super cool!) Whoodathunk?
So here's a few from our mini family session.....
***** UPDATE****** I just learned that within the last couple of weeks, the Dendy family had a fire in their attic. (Insulation and hot wires...:/ ) While the house didnt "burn down," per se, word is it's a total loss due to smoke damage. Thankfully, everyone escaped unharmed. They will be in a hotel for a few months while things are being rebuilt. So, give them big hugs if you see them around town!



OH man! Cute pics of the Dendys - so sorry to hear about their fire. Thank goodness everyone is safe. Love the couple pic!! :)
