Merritt Family

Last weekend I had the opportunity to photograph the Merritt family at a local park. Unfortunately we got there a little late in the morning and it was already getting to hot for the children to tolerate. We were still able to get some nice photos and are going to go back and do more in a couple weeks. Angela and Mike are great people and the children were troopers considering the heat we were subjecting them too. Angela met Mike in New Mexico where he was stationed with the U.S. Air Force. Angela was Mike's insurance agent, which apparently he had a great need for, and fell for him the first time he came in her office. They were married in April of 2003 and couldn't be happier. I photograph a lot of couples starting their lives together it was really nice to see one that has been together for a while and that the love was a strong as ever. They are a great family and I can't wait to work with them again. Hopefully in a little more temperate conditions this time. I will let you know how it goes.
