Vigil Family Sitting - Take II

A couple of weeks ago I posted photographs from the Vigil family sitting. Last week I photographed the second Vigil family. There are two Vigil brothers married to two best friends and they have four children each. This time I met the second set of Vigils at The Colorado College campus. We had a great time. I love this image of father Isaac with his kids. And this picture of the children running through the frame gives you an idea of just how crazy and wonderful their family is:) — Sean

Vigil Family Sitting

Each year I photograph the Vigil's for their Christmas card and each year it seems like their family gets a little bigger:) They're always fun to photograph, although it can be tough getting everyone to look in one place at the same time. This year we traveled to the Garden of the Gods and spent some time in the park. I had a blast! I love this picture of Sophia with the rest of the family behind her. I also like this shot of Nicholas... the explorer. Thomas had a hard time giving us a real smile, so Dad threw him up in the air a couple of times and that seemed to do the trick:)- Sean

The Vigil Family

For the past several years I've photographed the Vigil family. See some of our other sessions here and here. This year they decided to a do a big family photograph. Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, Cousins. They were all here. So after doing the proper pictures, which involved posing and lights, we ran out to the West Lawn of the Broadmoor Hotel to watch the geese and just be. That's when I grabbed these pictures. There was Uncle Joey with his niece Mary Jean. There was Sophie with her aunt, Sister Lucia. Then there was sisters Clair and Lily hanging out. Little moments, really. Hardly worth mentioning, except in pictures. When I can find the time and space to do this for such a wonderful family, I am truly happy. — Sean
