I couldn't go to bed tonight without posting a few of the pictures from our recent family photo shoot with the incomparable Marco Pauws.

There are many more excellent photos (including more "standard" portraiture) where these ones came from -- and all of them can be viewed in the Family Pictures section of the website.  But these were a few of my favorites... and I figured that these three were a good tease to the rest of the collection!  We ended up having a beautiful evening for the shoot, just this past Tuesday, and we found some beautiful places to catch the light along the dijk out toward Waterland.

Marco was truly a joy to work with -- as both a friend and as a photographer.  He's currently in the process of developing his own photography business, and I couldn't recommend him highly enough.  He's an incredible artist, he's quick with the turn-around, and he's still very reasonably priced (considering that he's still kind of in the start-up phase).  If you're looking for a photographer for anything, I seriously advise you to get in touch with Marco.  His website is www.polopix.blogspot.com (where you can also see some of his other work).

Anyway, although I'm more than happy to plug my friend's business, I really just wanted to post these pictures for everyone's enjoyment.  Don't forget you can find more shots from this photo shoot in the Family Pictures section!
