Farmer’s Market Day-in-the-life family photos

Day-in-the-life Family Photo Session at the Green City Market with the Ponzio’s

The Ponzios, who I’ve had the joy of photographing for many years now,  wanted something different this year for their family photos, so rather than going the traditional route, we opted for a day-in-the-life session.  The location Kimi choose was a well-visited spot by her husband Michael, a professional chef, who used to stop by the Green City Market every weekend to pick up fresh, local ingredients for his recipes at the restaurant.

I loved the idea, so after snapping some fun candids of the kids at play, we walked down to the stalls and took in the sights and smells.  It was so cute to see the boys examining the offerings.  When we spotted a carnitas stand, we all agreed we had to stop. Yummm!  It was definitely the best carnitas taco I’ve ever had, stuffed full of marinated pork, topped with shredded cabbage and drizzled with crema. My mouth is watering right now just remembering the flavor.

Kimi found her favorite fall arrangements–pumpkin tree bunches  (yes, there is such a thing), Oliver went on sale for a minute for $5 dollars, before being snatched up quickly by his devoted father, and little Michael showed his strength, lifting butternut squash like a dumbbell. It was a perfect morning making new memories and enjoying our beautiful Fall.

Scroll down below to see all the pictures from the lovely morning.  Interested in booking your own day-in-the-life session?  Contact me here, call 402-304-4057 or email to maggie@rifeponcephotography.com
