Vail Family Photos - East Vail - Kruger Family

The Kruger's were coming in from out of town to have their photos taken and they arrived a couple of hours earlier than we had scheduled.  They called to see if I could come a little earlier, but I had my oldest son Maxwell with me.  They weren't perturbed at all and told me to bring him along.   While Maxwell was a very handy assistant, he did manage to walk into a few of the shots during the Kruger's session.  I've photoshopped him out of one of the photos below.  See if you can spot it!

One member of the Kruger Family ripped their jeans all the way from zipper to knee during their shoot too!  It was probably one of the funniest things that's ever happened on a shoot.  This one might be a harder one to spot, but see if you can figure it out.

Leg injuries are unfortunately a common occurrence in Vail.  In fact, we're known as having some of the best ortho surgeons in the country.  My son broke his arm last year and when I took him in for his appointments, the walls were covered in thank you letters from celebrities who have come to Vail for their surgeries and recovery.  

I've never had a shoot with a patient that was in recovery before, so my session with the Bogaert Family was a first.  Fortunately, there are lots of great locations that are wheelchair accessible.  Even better, we have heated sidewalks all throughout Vail Village, so you'll never see snow buildup on the streets.

The family were visiting from the Dominican Republic and it gave me a great opportunity to pick their brains traveling there.  Now I can't wait to visit!

Here are a few of my favorites from their mini session.

Sometimes I'll get a request for a mini session.  Most photographers will offer mini session specials throughout the year.  This year I haven't had the opportunity to run one, but I've done a few by request.  When Jill contacted me to do a half hour session in East Vail, I was happy to oblige.  

They were staying at The Vail Racquet Club, right beside the Gore Creek.  The views in East Vail are some of the most dramatic in the valley, with steep mountain grades, several waterfalls and hiking trails.  Even though we only shot for 30 minutes, we were able to use about 10 different backgrounds because all of the features were in such close proximity.

Here are a few of my favorites from their session.
