The Gloecklers

I got the pleasure to photograph an old teaching colleague and her entire family last week. Meet the Gloecklers! (and the Fristiks) This family was non-stop fun. Every second was filled with jokes, laughing and strangely enough, a lot of face touching (not mine.)We met at Auburn Park, which I always forget exists and how pretty it is. Even though it was raining off and on, this family was all smiles and ready to work!

This is Geoff and Marcy with their adorable children, Haley and EllaDon’t let that cute smile fool you, this was actually very difficult to get out of her since she was so shy around me. In order to get Haley to smile, the ENTIRE family had to dance behind me and make her laugh.SO PRESH.
Giving me “sass.”Big sister pride.

mommy and daddy time.This is Adam and his girlfriend, Gray (looking good, btw.)This is the point when I realized the reason for the photos was because the session was actually a birthday present for grandma (Linda). Don and Linda are some of the coolest parents I’ve ever met. They are so happy, in love, funny and proud of their family. Did I mention I loved this shoot?

Molly and Joe. Molly was on my teaching team back when she lived in Cincinnati. She is currently teaching 1st grade in Cleveland, where she moved far away with her husband. I miss you here!Linda and Adam.Linda and Molly.Linda and Adam.
