Laughter, Pogo Sticks, and a Trampoline - An Afternoon at Home with the M Family (Arlington, VA)

It was strange how this unplanned evening stood out - long after the holiday ended, as the happiest time of all
— RC Sherrif (The Fortnight in September)

Teenagers are notoriously hard to photograph as far as candids and real smiles are concerned. They’ll stand anywhere I tell them, but they rarely laugh unexpectedly. But sometimes - if there’s a trampoline, a younger sister, and a gorgeous night - magic occurs.

The M family was one of my first ever photo sessions and I cannot believe their oldest son headed to college this fall. How the years fly by!
