Meet the Buscemis. I have known this family since I was ten-years-old. To be completely candid, I wasn't too sure what to think of them or of we would ever become friends all those years ago. However, nine years later I can absolutely declare they are some of the best people ever to come into my family's life. They are always willing to go the extra mile for you, invite you over to eat their food (they live by the motto mi casa es tu casa), and bring all the loud joy to any gathering. I've done the oldest daughter's, Diane, family photos for the past few years, but this is the first year I've done a complete session of the whole family: grandma (Mata), parents, siblings, in-laws, and grandchildren. It was a blast! We beat the cold snowy weather that blew into our area just by a few hours, snuck on our coats between shots, and then ran to our heated cars when with the last shutter of the day. Even though it was cold, the whole family kept up with the beat and stayed so encouraged and excited! Buscemis, you guys are the best.

Can't wait until next time, my friends!
