The first time I met Bryn it was over a decade ago. We were in college and she was a decked out in camouflage at a sorority rush party event called camp COG. Eventually I joined the COGS and we became became proverbial sorority sisters. We share crazy memories and vow that what happens at Augustana college..stays there! However I can say this, I have never known Bryn without Will. They dated all through college and in a world where we may secretly fantasize about being the characters on Laguna Beach...Bryn and Will's relationship as how I remember it, was virtually drama free. They were just a chillax couple who genuinely enjoyed spending time together and always had a collection of friends.
Fast Forward to over 10 years later, Will and Bryn are married and have gorgeous 4 1/2 year old twins Drew and Avery.
I am not surpised that they are exactly how I remember them. ..so relaxed and so willing to take their time during their family photo shoot. I drove to Lake Genenva and met them at the Abbey Springs Country Club. This little trip made it my first official out of state photo shoot and it gave us lots of great scenery to work with. We hijacked a wedding, trespassed in a resident's driveway, left a trail of Cheez It's wherever we went and may have annoyed a few golfers on the fairway. Through it all, Bryn and Will remained calm and cool...and Drew and Avery followed their lead.
I must say that Drew wasn't feeling it too much with camera at first..but luckily I found a way to his heart... This boy will smile for Silly Bands! Miss Avery, on the other hand, was a little diva and a magnet to my lens! Like mother, like daughter!
I wish I could take credit for this adorable pose. But the artist behind this was 100% Avery. She commanded me to come over and take a picture of her and her brother back to back. It is one of my favorite images. Thanks for having my back girlfriend!
