no ordinary family!
"The family is a link to our past ... and a bridge to our future." ~Alex Haley
Clients rarely see our on-location session prep. When we tell clients we're doing a 'light re-con,' this is the kind of thing that goes on ahead of time. Here the Wogg part of our WizWogg team being the light-stick test guy to be sure we have enough fill light for a session with a sun high overhead. (nothing worse than deep shadowed eyes caused by midday sun :( )
Same shot, same location - no raccoon eyes. Rather, bright, smiling family faces - 
"That was really fun!" declares grandpa Mike after their four-family session, a 50-year wedding anniversary gift given to him and grandma Sally from daughter Ginny.
Without doubt the most fun (and rewarding) thing for us is when our clients get into the experience as much as we do.
For 30+ years Sally and Mike have owned and operated two very large, well-known kids' day camps in Pasadena and on Catalina Island: Tom Sawyer Camps
"Tom Sawyer Camps create lifelong memories by providing fun-filled days where children feel happy and safe" we read on their camp website. Well, you know Wizzy & Friends - we're all about capturing lifelong memories and fun, so we knew they were in our world!
Usually we do the work to help our clients feel relaxed. Well, not with this crowd - they made their own entertainment.
The alligator is my friend
And he can be yours too
I'd rather have him as my friend
Than have him in my shoe.
Sing those camp songs, group!

Having been clued in early on that this family was exceptionally fun-loving, we knew we had to be on our Fun A-Game. "These instructions are for everyone except grandma and grandpa. On the count of three, everyone else fall to the ground."
"One, two ..."
... three!"
"There is a star above us which unites souls of the first order, though worlds and ages separate them." ~ Christina of Sweden
