Olson Family | {Edgewood Family Photographer}

On a beautiful summer evening, I had the pleasure of sharing some time with this great family! The couple responsible for this group is Bob and Wendy and I must tell you, they have to be quite proud of their boys, Jarrod and Chad their daughter in-laws, Laura and Kendra, and their grandchildren! All were delightful and so great to work with…not to mention all good looking….it’s obvious they have it in their genes!! Wendy, mom or grandma, is a first grade teacher at Fruitland Elementary in Puyallup and I had the pleasure of meeting her a couple of years ago when our granddaughter had her for a teacher. Now, if you have had a child at Fruitland, you know who “Mrs. Olson” is…she is one of those rare and amazing teachers who makes such an impact on her students that they will never forget her and will always have wonderful memories of their year in her class. She’s truly amazing…in so many ways! Bob, I met the day of the session, but have heard about him and how can a guy who’s married to such a fabulous woman, not be great himself!! They have two boys and four grandchildren – three grandsons and one granddaughter! Sweet little Heidi, the only granddaughter is definitely a sparkle in the families eye…and I know how much fun it has been for Wendy to have a little girl in the family, after having two boys herself!! Of course, the grandsons, Cameron, Travis and Oliver (or Ollie) are very handsome boys and all so nice and polite…oh my, what an impressive family!! It was warm and the park was busy, but we managed to get the boys to break from frisbee for a bit for some photos…of course, they’d much rather play than settle down for photos, but they were great sports and took a break! As a grandma (mimi) myself, I know what it’s like to have the connection with your grandchildren…I’m fortunate enough to have mine in the same town, but Wendy and Bob’s grandchildren (and boys!!) live out of state, so making the most of time with them during a visit is so important! Watching them with their family was heartwarming and refreshing…seeing family gather and just enjoy one another’s company is a wonderful sight! Ollie is nearly 5 and a busy boy with an amazing laugh and smile…he was full of energy and hard to pin down for a photo, so holding him, upside down at that, worked quite well!!Jarrod and Laura and handsome sons, Travis and Cameron….what a delightful family…I was quite impressed with how polite the boys were!Kendra and Chad…and Heidi and Ollie…the cutest family and OH, such fun to be around!! Special time for these grandparents…having all of their grandchildren visit at the same time!Oh my goodness, this was the cutest thing Chad did with Ollie and Heidi…
