When I hung up the phone with Carmen after our initial conversation, I couldn't help but smile.  I knew immediately in talking with her that I was going to truly enjoy photographing this family.  The Lazorek family had been living in the Bay Area for about 18 months.  It was only a temporary move from their home in Canada.  The family was preparing to move back to Canada in just a few short weeks, and they wanted to have photos to document their time - and their lives - here in the Bay Area.  I felt incredibly honored to be the person they chose to help with this task.  We chose a local park close to the families home in Danville as a backdrop - I think it was the most perfect location, don't you?

Carmen and Michael - it was an absolute pleasure meeting you all.  Thank you for letting me spend time with you and photographing your sweet family.
