The Staats Family


: The parents, starring off into space, one kid telling a story, another ripping off the other's slipper, and the smallest one launching himself off the foot stool. I think this has to be fairly accurate to their real life.

Just before Christmas, and in time for presents, we worked in a session with Ashlie and Randy and their four kids. They were running around, wrestling, and playing; although they paused a few seconds here and there to give Mom some Grandparent pictures. We snagged a couple images of just Ashlie and Randy, as well, as she said she hadn't had one of just them since their honeymoon.

Everyone was a bit more dressed-up than normal (with the exception of the smallest running around sans-pants for awhile) but were comfortable in their own surroundings. This allowed me to document them in their 'natural environment'. Makes them sound like a herd of wild monkeys, but that might be more accurate than you'd think. ;-) It was great as they won't always be this wild and crazy and it was so fun to relive a bit of my childhood by capturing a bit of theirs.






(Looks like he's morphing into 'The Hulk' or something!)
