The Hawthornes are some of my most loyal clients and friends. I have shot everything from family photos, images of their children, birthday parties, even commercial photos for Heather's mommy-business, Raving Tans. I can't thank them enough for supporting me from the very beginning of Juneberry Photo. Heather was my first real session when we shot her maternity photos. They are beautiful people, inside and out and great, loving parents to boot! This session was a very special one for alot of reasons but one very fun aspect of this session was that the location was a place they spend alot of time in. When they approached me to photograph their family, I tried to think of something new to keep things fresh. I eventually asked if they would be willing to choose their family business for the location. The Hawthornes run and own Hawthorne Auto and Tire Service in San Marcos. Its an amazing space to shoot in. Classic cars, checkered flooring, antique decor and personal meaning. They recently had their shop revamped and renovated on the Style Networks Peter Perfect! The episode really touched my heart and it was such a great boost for their business. What better way to celebrate something so unique than to photograph their family in this environment. I hope that years down the road their children will look back at these and remember playing toy cars in their dad's retro lobby and playing with tools in the garage. I'm so glad they trusted me to pull this off. I'm sure Heather thought I was a little nutty when I suggested we photograph her lovely family in a greasy garage. haha. Thanks for the wonderful day of memories you guys!
