I've known this family since I was eleven or twelve years old, and I find it such a privilege to watch their lives unfold. I've seen Russell evolve from a jean-vest clad pre-teen to a proud father and husband. It's very cool to watch a family expand and evolve over time.
When Russell's wife Marci called about scheduling a session while her parents were in town, she had a very clear vision. "You know all the beautiful fall colours that most people use as a backdrop this time of year?" Marci began.
"Yes," I said, picturing their beautiful piece of land near Kitty Coleman.
"Well, I don't want that!" said Marci.
Her vision was classic; a simple black backdrop with the emphasis on the subjects...not the background. Music to my ears!
I so enjoyed my time with the Hotsenpillers and the Crossans. Seeing everyone interact with wee Dash, the newest member of the Hotsenpiller clan, was beautiful.
You've made a spectacular choice in joining this family, Dashiel!!! You will be well-loved!
(We missed Louise, Russell's mom, but will hopefully get some photos of her with her gorgeous grandsons soon.)
