the fitzpatrick fam!

We first met Rena one night when she was our waitress at Carrabba’s.  She said, “Hey.. I know you!  You work at Starbucks.”

And it was love at first sight.

She sat down with us and chatted in between serving her other tables, and we couldn’t help but fall in love with her Bostonian accent.  Rena + her husband Mike moved to Milwaukee a lil while back, but their fantastic accents still stay strong!

Since that night, about two years ago, I have seen Rena about twice a day, and made her triple-grande-extra-caramel-caramel-macchiatos hundreds and hundreds of times.  After getting to know each other via Starbucks, we became Facebook friends … and that was when she said we MUST do a family portrait session with her clan!

The boys, Jack + Jim, have more energy in a single day than I will have in my entire lifetime.  It was upon meeting them that I understood why Rena drinks 10+ shots of espresso every day … it’s to keep up with them!  They are oodles of fun to be around, and have insane amounts of character to capture in photo-form.  We had a total blast with the four of these guys … and we even got Rena + Mike in front of the lens for some ‘coupley shots’ [which they just giggled through the entire time].

Only after the shoot did we find out that they have TWO PUGS … which happen to be Jayden’s favorite dog.  So, another shoot may need to happen sooner rather than later.  😉

Thanks guys, you are soo much fun, and we hope that you’ll tell us if you have any other adorable and/or exotic animals residing in your house so that we can incorporate them into your future shoots with us.   Lots of love!  And I’ll probably see you tomorrow!  😉
