The Facchini/Carswell/Recck family shoot

Adrian and I had the opportunity to bring our boys out to Cape Cod this past weekend, for the occasion of a combination family shoot for old friends Jim & Cathy Carswell, and their spouses Aimee & George and kiddos.

(Full disclosure: the Cape is where my family would vacation every summer when I was growing up, and the smell of the salt air always brings back memories for me. When I was around eight years old, I actually used to keep a bottle of "Cape Cod air" in my room all year long, and I'd uncork it every summer the instant we reached the apex of the Bourne Bridge that crosses over the Cape Cod Canal to refreshen my supply...)

We ended up going to a nature preserve of sorts for our photo session, and hiking along paths through rolling meadows, marsh grasses and forests. It was a beautiful spot that provided all sorts of interesting backdrops for photos and we just improvised throughout the afternoon, letting the kids be kids.

Many thanks to Aimee & Jim and Cathy & George for their hospitality - our boys had a blast getting to hang out at the beach during the weekend, and have been talking about it ever since. Enjoy the sneak peek!
