Another Doppelganger

I met this family for the first time when we met for our session...

Everyone was excited and they had traveled quite a ways just so that we could get some family memories...

I remembered when I first met them that I thought this beautiful mom must be an actress...and on top of that, her demeanor was so gracious and kind...WOW...(talk about the jealousy bug...to look like a movie star and have a heart that is fabulous to boot?  it's the whole package!!!)

However, I couldn't figure out WHO it was that I thought she looked like...because let's be honest...my exposure to movies is typically The Chipmunks, Rapunzel and all things Disney...not much in the "non-animated" department...but still, there was something...

My oldest daughter has dived into the realm of non animated films and so I went home to look through some DVDs to see if I could find whom I was looking for through the files of Princess Diaries, Narnia and Spy Kids, etc...

I finally came across GamePlan (a Disney film of course) and realized that the Ballet instructor in the movie was was Roselyn Sanchez...and that's what was triggering my memory...Don't ya think they bare a resemblance?  Another thing to be jealous about, because my face doesn't doppelganger with any movie star that I know of...

Regardless of whether you agree with me or not...her family was adorable...

We ran all over the campus and enjoyed such a wonderful afternoon of romping and playing in the open spaces.  Smiles were NEVER off their faces...and the pure joy of just being together was evident...

and it wasn't just for pictures...that's the thing...

This family was USED TO time like this...time just BEing together and playing...it wasn't foreign to them...it wasn't awkward or new...

I could tell that they were just living life like they normally do and all I had to do was follow them around and capture it so that they'd have the memories forever...

I swear that I have just the best clients in the world!  It brightens my day each time I have the opportunity to meet new families and get to experience their family dynamics...

it's amazing!
