I’ve known Jacob and Allison for some time now, so it was a privilege to capture some family photos with their extended family a few weeks ago. Between enjoying their little ones at play—and convincing them at times to join the rest of the family in peeking at my camera—and wandering about in the Haymarket and Cooper Park, I really had a lovely time with the entire group. And watching grown men interact as brothers always turns back the clock, doesn’t it?

Thanks, Gerbers! I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. You are a fine-lookin’ bunch!

**Brief sidenote: Jacob and Allison are fabulous foster parents to a baby boy right now. Perhaps one of my favorite family portraits includes him, but you, my dear friends, will not view it here. At least not now. I may not be able to acknowledge this precious child in photos, but I can acknowledge him in words. So now you know. (Remember, loved and cherished but not forgotten.)
