Albany, Oregon-- sprayfoam capitol, presents the Marks family. I had the joy of taking some family portraits. Doug and Dar are the type of parents that you wish you had. Doug is a pastor who understands people no matter the age. His wife loves to garden. She's got a green thumb and everything she touches looks enchanted. Des is hippie. Yes, definition of hippie. She hasn't straightened her hair and years and can't remember the last time she brushed her hair. Emily and Sterling are one of the most beautiful couples I have had the experience to be around. They are truly silly and actually like to be around each other. They met a few years ago when Sterling would tour as a sound guy with bands like Falling Up and Mute math. He toured to Minnesota every so often and met Emily. A year later she moved in with Doug and Dar to be close to Sterling. The rest is history.
