Mikolayciks + Kurtzs’ Family Portrait Session – Meet The Mikolayciks and Kurtzs (as well as the Moons :P). By now, you probably know they are the families of Alicia and Austin, whom by the way, are kinda like the poster-child couple of my whacky photography business :). Last Thursday, I had a blast – no wait – a funtacular time meeting and working with A + A’s siblings, parents, uncles, aunts, and cousins! Everyone was in town in the Marina Del Rey-ish area for their wedding on Saturday. Since Alicia and Austin had family coming to LA from Connecticut, Wisconsin, Texas, and San Diego for their big day, they thought it would be a splendid opportunity to also have a family portrait session. Yay!

We went out to a nearby park and beach for the late afternoon shoot. Although the sun never came out (darn you June gloom!), that didn’t keep the Mikolayciks and Kurtzs from being their funny, silly, and loving selves. Honestly, I’ve never met two families with so much love for each other like the Ms and Ks. They welcomed me with open arms and made my “job” as their photographer unbelievably fun and personal. Alicia, Austin, and their family climbed trees, wrestled each other, built a human pyramid, and hugged/kissed each other like there was no tomorrow. To the Mikolayciks and Kurtzs: you guys totally rock!
