Kate and her husband Nigel, photographed on Maenporth beach in Cornwall, England on November 22, 2008.
As I type this, it’s morning in Falmouth, Cornwall. I’m waking up in my sister-in-law Kate’s house — my husband is English, and we’ve been visiting his family for the past 10 days. I love visiting his family — they’re so close, and always welcome Marcus back home like the prodigal son, with open arms. All of Marcus’ family members (and there are many!) are unabashed about showing each other pure, genuine love — and letting me capture amazing images like the one above.
Today (and for those of you in the United States, in the spirit of family-filled Thanksgivings), I’d love for you to share images of your family members expressing their love.

This is my dad being himself, and my mum in the background…she is giving him the eye, but smiling as she does. They’ve been together for over 25 years.

My in-laws are just amazing. My own family is cooky and great but if I could have designed the perfect second family these guys would have fit that mold. They are a huge picture taking family. When we do family shots we always take one serious/normal photo and then one really silly one. Always.

I’m realizing I don’t have many photo’s of people expressing to each other. Lots of my subjects are shy when I point the camera at them. But I did find a few gems. We are having dinner Thursday with 2 of my sons. I can’t wait to break bread with them. Family is everything…

Not the best shot, but I just love it– a few days ago most of my uncles and aunts were in town along with many of my cousins, meeting my 9 month old son for the first time. I worried about him being overwhelmed by all the people, but he even sat in my cousin’s lap for a while, content.

I’ll also include some of my self-portraits with my son. Again, not great– I’m still learning how to take these effectively. But here’s a couple very cute ones. =)
