the hassler family

I’m so thrilled to have these familiar faces back on the blog today. They are an absolute party, and I literally have to pinch myself that Chris & Zeljka’s boys are this grown up. It can’t be!

On the left: marriage goals – to look at each other like that and laugh your way through life together. On the right: barely suppressed grimaces at being asked to hug and one brother scheming to throw the other one in the lake. 😉

Do I need to label my favorite?

I can’t blog their photos without reminiscing about photographing Sam as a baby as I stumbled into this beautiful career of documenting families as they grow and change. Here lies the photographic evidence: next year he’ll be taller than his dad! Incredibly observant, Sam is sharp and doesn’t miss (or forget) ANYTHING. I’ve probably learned something new every time I’ve had a conversation with him. This intellect combined with his sense of humor makes for endless entertainment.

Eli has a crazy high likability factor. He can make 1,000,000 faces, probably crack as many jokes, and in his family he’s the source of much eye-rolling, but also a ton of joy. He is quietly confident, imaginative and easy-going.

Such a gorgeous family!

So grateful for this evening of catching up with you, Hasslers. Thanks for always being so dang fun to work with!
