Hats Off


On Saturday night, I had the pleasure of helping Sandy’s Dad, Julian, who’s also a photographer, do a shoot with some of his other kids and their significant others.

Pictured above, is Sandy’s brother, Jesse, and his girlfriend, Chrissy. We had these cool hats that were being used as props. At one point, Jesse had thrown his hat back to his Dad. When I saw this, I got the idea to have them throw the hats at me. This ended up being my favorite image of the night.

This photo is so precious; I can tell they are having fun! I like how the hats are suspended in air! Throwing hats like this reminds me of a Fred Astaire movie!

That's a really nifty and fun photo. You're not just getting a wife, you're getting a whole family.

I didn't have the stereotypical in-laws. They are great people.
