Careys at the Beach

Colin's parents were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary, and since they hadn't had a family photo done since he and his siblings were kids, they decided that a family portrait would make the perfect anniversary gift. So he and his wife and three siblings met me in Old Lyme for some funny, creative photos. I love the fact that they are a family of bonny Irish redheads-ooooh, those gorgeous crimson curls! It was my most unique portrait session to date, and we had so much fun "playing" at the beach. They decided to resurrect--or reinvent--their favorite Halloween costumes from childhood (see Colin's makeshift get-up). Sean did rock n' roll stunts, Justin did fancy basketball tricks, and Colin flew like superman. Really.
