Portrait of a home

Over six decades ago, my grandpa built the home that he and my grandma raised six kids in. Grandma passed away nearly nine years ago, and Grandpa remained in the home until just a short time ago when he moved to a retirement center.

Before moving the furniture and Grandpa's personal items to his new place, I shot pictures throughout his house, yard and shop.

Grandpa sitting in his recliner in the living room.

 My girls' shoes strewn about the entry of Grandpa's house, next to his jacket and cane.

 The living room with pictures of family on the wall.

Detail of the antique organ.

Grover profiles updated

We loved our profile compilation of two years ago so much (we have a 16x20 in our living room that gets a lot of compliments) that we decided to recreate it and see how much we've changed in 730 days.

2014

2012

Probably the biggest change is in Gwendolen. She was able to sit on the stool without Seth having to hold her up (and me Photoshopping his hand out later). And we decided to go with the toothy smiles instead of the closed lips. But I think we're still pretty dang cute.

Olavesons

In the past, I've shot this family in a makeshift indoor studio (their kitchen). With the mild temperatures we had clear into December, we moved the shoot outside.
