Clayville Family

I recently had the very real honor and pleasure of spending a week and a half living in Portland with Brian and Jenni Clayville and their two awesome kids, Chance and Paxton. They are some friends of mine I had met originally through twitter and mutual friends (whom I had also met on Twitter, ha!), and when I booked a wedding in Bend, OR, it wasn’t even up for discussion on where I would be staying. Within an hour of announcing on twitter I was coming back out to the Pacific Northwest I received a message from Jenni and Brian saying I had a place to stay with them if I wanted it. One of the few things I love more than photography is people, specifically meeting, breaking bread with, and just enjoying the company of new people, so of course I took advantage of their incredible hospitality. I figured the least I could do in repayment was to do a photo shoot for their family. So all that said, here are just a few of my favorites from their session (which spanned a couple of days).

I don't care what Tam says, that's a good lookin family. Makes me wonder……are you THAT good of a photographer and they're really ugly or do they actually look that good? :D
