Forty-Six. That’s the number of how many Polakowski family members are in the photo above. Everyone came together in celebration of both Grandpa’s 90th Birthday and Grandma and Grandpa’s 65th Wedding Anniversary. What a blessing it was to be apart of this family for a day and capture the 4 generations together in place.
You can imagine the excitement as well as the hustle and bustle of that Saturday morning! As the car loads of families unloaded everyone flooded into the studio. Wayde started to slowly position the families together with a mixture of talent and magic – this portrait was captured. For this family, it wasn’t just a dreaded family picture – this was a once-in-a-life-time moment. A moment that will be cherished and held close to the hearts of the family. Here are some of the thank you’s from the family members themselves…
“…Your patience, humor, and ability to tend to all details is a good part of why your studio is full of beautiful family pictures…” – Bob & Helen Polakowski
“What a great time we had on the 21st! How you managed to get 46 bodies to sit still long enough to snap countless photos were remarkable…your enthusiasm and passion are really contagious! Thank you for your time and talents in order to give our family a gift that we will cherish forever!” – Nancy & Jerry Kobussen
“…so skillfully and professionally and personally you worked your magic! You are awesome to watch! A MASTER craftsman to say the least! You will be thought of often and fondly as we all enjoy the portrait, your master piece – and of course all of the individual portraits you did as well.” – Tom & Becky Polakowski
I love the pictures in your blog! I wish we could do this more often. We sholud have thought about this before they were born and we could have done pictures every 3 months I had NO idea that there was video! I LOVE it!!!
