I often wonder if photographing people you know well is harder or easier. I definitely think it can be both, but with the Simons it was just easier. After years of photographing them candidly at home, this was our first 'real' session together. I wanted it to stand apart from the hundreds of other photos I have taken of them. I wanted it to be more portrait than documentary in nature. And I was very happy with the outcome. The whole process was a true pleasure.
