Takoma Park Maryland Family Photographer | Myers-Copp Family

Family portraits are some of my favorite photos to take, but what makes them even better is the friendship I establish with the families I photograph. That's definitely the case with the Myers-Copp Family. Like me, Graham, the dad and husband you see here, is a labor activist. We've known each other for a few years now, but I met his beautiful wife and lovely daughter for the first time during this photo session. Don't they make a gorgeous family??

The four of us spent an afternoon in some of my favorite locations, Sligo Creek Parkway and Downtown Takoma Park. For me, the best part was getting to spend time with Graham's daughter. She's only seven, but she's incredibly intelligent and super outgoing for her age. She had no problem hamming it up for the camera or talking two of my favorite subjects: current events and cats. Seriously... I think I might be working for her one day :)

As much as I love this entire collection of photos, one of my favorites is all the way at the bottom of this post. (Scroll, baby, scroll!) Jumping was actually Graham's idea, but what I love about it is all the ways it demonstrates just how care-free and fun-loving this family is. Their bond for each other is undeniable, and I'm so glad I was able to capture that love with my camera!
