The Marx Family [Family Time]
| A few days before the snow blanketed Dallas for it's first white Christmas in 70 years, I was able to squeeze in one last session in 2009 with some of my favorite people on the planet. Keith and Jennie Marx were Kylie and I's mentor couple at our pre-marital class at church in 2008. We really enjoyed their leadership and friendship and have kept in contact with them ever since. One night when we were at dinner with them, we got on the subject of photography, and Jennie mentioned they hadn't had a family portrait done in 14 years. Yes, 14. And yes, years!! I think people were using Polaroids 14 years ago. That was that... right then and there we decided it was [way past] time for some new memoirs of this super laid-back family, so we marked a date on the calendar close to the holidays when all the kids would be home, and we met down in Deep Ellum to get - at Jennie's request - some images of the family together and the kids together. Speaking of kids, Jennie and Keith's kids have the coolest collective sibling names on the planet. They are - from oldest to youngest - Gibson, Perrin, Logan and Regan. Seriously, most of the time when a family has 4 kids, at least one of them has a clunker or cliché name, but not in this tribe. Here's some of my favorites from our session. |
