Our family has been going to Burning Man since 2006. It started off with my current husband, Mark Cappel, who has two adult children, and me, who has three adult children. Mark’s daughter is married and has a toddler. Our children each started coming out to Burning Man when they turned 18. They each have helped volunteer as greeters or working in the Gate department. We have dressed up as the Gilligan Island characters and the next year did a reversal and dressed transgender. This year at Burning Man, and as project lead for the Reno C.O.R.E. project, Mark and I are going to renew our vows after 10 years of marriage at the Reno effigy: The Good, The Bad, and The Naughty. The three-sided effigy represents one side as a wedding chapel, one side the second judicial district courthouse, and the other the “World Famous Sparkle Pony Ranch” brothel. We have not decided which facade we will chose. Our children will be present plus all the participants who are around the playa at the time. After many years of RV trips to Canada or Mexico, Burning Man became our annual holiday. We look forward to spending time with the family. In Dust We Trust.
Hello
As much as I would love this family photo session for my own crew, I would rather nominate a wonderful family of six who have never had professional photos done. The Blum family is the most warm, genuine, energetic, and kind family. They have four boys under six and are so lively and active. They love everything outdoors and spend most days camping, fishing, swimming, etc. they would be a beautiful family to photograph. She is the mom who always goes out of her way to help her friends in need like cooking meals or taking kids… Like she doesn’t have enough on her hands. They are so deserving.
Our family loves the outdoors and plan on spending lots of time at local parks, “family” days off with Daddy at Tahoe beaches and camping at our favorite spot North of Truckee.
We love and have admired your photography for so long! We actually did the Cowboy/Cowgirl shoot with our son & daughter last year and loved ALL the photos! Our family would make a great cover model because the kids are close in age, have amazing personalities and have so much fun together which makes them so fun to capture on camera and the love and amusement my husband and I have for them shows in all of our photos. We are a fun family that loves to be together and have fun, and we would love to capture that in a great portrait! We are wanting some great family shots during this time in life, before the kids start school this fall and life gets crazy! Thanks so much for an awesome opportunity!
Our favorite summer family activity is going to Lake Tahoe! We live so close to one of the most beautiful places in the country! Sun, sand and water – you can’t go wrong!
We are only of a family of three, but our doggy makes 4 – and she really WAS my first child
We would make fun cover models because we are silly, always laughing, up for anything, and our son is ridiculously good looking. It’s true. We would be HONORED to have our family as a face for such an amazing studio. Ohhhh, pick me pick me!! Did I mention we’re silly??
I’d LOVE to win this session with you Tourine (and Trevor!)!! After marrying my husband and inheriting his two awesome sons, I’m super excited to get some family photos done! This summer we plan to RELAX. After a hectic summer last year, we’re eager to do some camping and traveling. My husband and I are eager to show the kids other parts of the country and create memories to last a lifetime.
We are lovers of the good old fashioned camping trip….tents, campfires, s’mores and swimming in the lake. We look forward to our yearly camping trip and this year, it will be even better because it’s in our backyard – Lake Tahoe. We are a blended family, with my husband having had custody of his 1 year old daughter and 4 year old son when we met. He was truly both mom and dad and I fell in love the moment I saw him with his children. We added to our family 5 years after getting married and now have a 5 year old son in addition to the now 13 year old and 16 year old. My oldest stepchild will be heading off to college next year and having a family portrait together before he leaves would mean the world to us. We also have a gentle old soul named Sergeant we love very much. He is our black lab who is enjoying what will probably be his last summer and we would love to include him in a beautiful photo. Being outdoors is my ideal photography setting and I love the natural beauty of where we live. I have a deep appreciation for photography, having grown up the daughter of a photographer. We don’t have a lot of time together as a family, with my being a nurse and my husband being a Correctional Sergeant so getting an opportunity to take some amazing photos that capture what we have as a family would be wonderful.
Well,
Here’s to the no-so-traditional family of myself and my two children. Over the past 12 years as a single parent I have not been able to take as many photographs as I would have liked as I have been quite busy working and raising my two beautiful children. Now, here we are—a 16 and 17 year old—heading into young adulthood and I still don’t have any pictures of us all together! For a performing arts teacher, you would think I would get this “in hand”. We love the beauty of where we live in Northern Nevada and we love each other. What better way to show it than to get it “on camera”. Thanks!
We have a very active family and our summertime is packed with tons of activities that include many sports, summer camps for the kids and most of all camping/fishing at Lake Davis. Because our weekdays are so busy with activities and work, the relaxation and family time the weekend brings is golden. Going to our campsite and being “unplugged” is great for our entire family as it brings us all back together and allows us to create beautiful memories!
We’d love to be your cover family as our kids are chaingng daily, this is the time we need to capture their true spirit and really show the family bond we have! I’m very lucky to be the wife of a fabulous husband and have 2 amazing kids, showing them off is my joy!
