Things you should know about the Werner family:
1) They are seriously one of the coolest families ever. We don’t say that lightly. From the way they interact with each other, to their interests and how amazingily cool, open and down-to-earth they are, they are awesome.
2) Photos are REALLY important to them. Every year we start talking about their shoot in the summer (to shoot in fall) and they want to capture their family in a cool and creative way. Last year we recreated the Beatles Abbey Road album cover with them. This year they rented a schooner from the Portland Schooner Company and we all went out for a sunset cruise for two hours. It was the most beautiful day/evening and could not have been more perfect.
3) See number one. 
Here are some of the photos from the session, a mix of candid moments and posed shots. And wait until you see what we have in store for the 2011 shoot!
Jess & Lyle are the most amazing team. I admit to being one of *those* people – you know the ones – “Oh I am pretty good with a camera – I’ll take the family pictures.” (Memories of my father with a trigger in his hand in our family pictures comes to mind as well). I only wish I had wised up sooner!
Just a look at these photos – family heirlooms that will last for generations – stunning shots all in one beautiful afternoon. We look forward to that day all year, planning our next big surprise – it is a great family adventure. Jess & Lyle are our official family photographers – we have used them for my sister’s wedding, for modeling shots for the kids, for these family photo shoots and for commercial shoots. They are incredibly talented and I am so grateful they are in our life. Thanks Fidelio Photography – only you could make us look so darn good!
Wow. These photos are so genuine and so beautiful. And what a fantastic idea to raise the idea of “family portraits” up a level! I am in love!
Very beautiful photos!! Not only are they amazing family photos, but looks like something you would find in a nautical or fashion magazine.
What an amazing session! Loving it
