The Burgess and Pone Family

The Burgess and Pone families are an amazing group of people. They wanted me to capture them spraying each other in the face with silly string - a terrific idea in my opinion. They suggested starting at the mural site off of Silo Road in Arlington, and I thought the colors of the walls complemented their personalities.

Jasmine gets carried around in arms:


They took turns to see who could stay on the side of a mural the longest:


It wasn't long before someone fired the silly string and set off a war:


Yalonda picks through her hair halfway through the first silly string fight:


Their dogs weren't safe, either:


Jasmine stands amidst the carnage:


We visited a pond near their home in Mansfield. Here, Ray walks with their great dane, Amadeus, into the sun:


Jasmine, ready as ever, stocks four cans of silly string into her pockets for the second battle:


They paid homage to Ghostbusters, and initiated the fight by centering their cans into the air:


Alonzo looks for his next victim as Maggie retreats in the background:


Georg was closed in and surrounded:


I had them gather together for an impromptu group portrait:


And a more formal portrait:


Ray dances after Maggie brought some music for them to dance to:


Georg poses with his dog, Ciele:


As personable as they were as a group, I wanted to photograph their individual personalities as well:


I enjoyed photographing them, and want to say that I didn't mind getting caught in the crossfire as well. I could easily see the energy this family had from the moment I met them, and look forward to working with them in the future!
