I ended 2008 in the best way possible… spending an afternoon with fantastic friends who don’t mind being in front of my camera.
If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, you are probably familiar with the Hofman family. I’ve known Thom since high school. I met Jenn when she and Thom were in the early stages of a relationship. I documented Jenn’s pregnancy last year with a maternity session. I visited when their son, Cayden, was a newborn. And as really cool people tend to hang out with other really cool people, I’ve also made new friends through them.
We met up on the last Monday of 2008 and headed over to Balboa Park to enjoy a bit of the fabulous weather. Afterward, we picked up ingredients from Thom’s favorite market, Whole Foods, and then headed back to the Hofman house, where I was treated to a gourmet meal and an evening of wonderful conversation. There are no words for how much I enjoy spending time with Thom and his family.
Back to the session… when we first started out at the park, we walked into this amazing pocket of sunshine. This first one is one of my absolute favorites. Isn’t Jenn gorgeous?
Since we started late in the day, I didn’t stress too much over the perfect location or the perfect conditions… I just wanted to document the Hofmans interacting and being a family. Thom and Jenn obviously dote on Cayden and are head-over-heels-crazy about each other. I love how much they all enjoy every minute together…
Thank you, Hofman family, for another beautiful afternoon spent together. And thank you for extending the evening to include dinner… Thom, you are an amazing chef!Â
