The Soenksen Family | Harrisonburg, VA

The Soenksens are an incredibly nice and photogenic family who wanted some fun and casual photos of their wonderful family. While they were very accustomed to formal family photos, for this shoot we encouraged them to dress how they’d like, to pick a location that is important to them (their yard!), and to have some fun. We love being around this family and hope these pictures will bring them much closer to so many of their friends and family who don’t get the pleasure of seeing them everyday! Friends can view the whole set in the client gallery. Enjoy!

    Hahaha! I love the animated GIF and the very last right photo. It cracks me up that he’s upside down. 🙂

    I love how he’s upside down and seems to be floating in that last picture! And of course the animated gif is totally fun.

    Excellent shoot, great energy. That GIF is hilarious, it looks like he’s about to eat the camera.
