Teenagers, Zebras, and Balloons at Union Market (Washington D.C.)

When it’s not always raining there’ll be days like this
When there’s no one complaining there’ll be days like this
When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
Well my mama told me there’ll be days like this
— Van Morrison

I’ve been photographing this family for years now and watching the kids grow up has been such a joy. Though every year I’m a little surprised at how much they’ve grown (how long until all my young clients are taller than me?). And a little awed at the wonderful people they’re becoming.

A styled shoot was wrapping up as we arrived and they gave us their leftover balloon arch. Who doesn’t love a balloon arch? And, of course I had to include the cell phone photos because, as I know all too well, that’s life with teenagers these days. And it’s a good life. One worth remembering.
