The Irvine Family has a long tradition of preserving family life in photos, and — since the advent of VHS camcorders, and carrying on with today’s smart phones and digital cameras — videos. The family’s deep connections with each other, their close friends and the daily world at large make for the fabric of a rich and meaningful tapestry of life. Stacie notes as much in the book, A Story of My Daddy, Joshua Montoya: As Told by Nana and Brooke. Writing as “Nana” (Brooke’s grandmother), Stacie says: “Within our unique network of family and friends, the essence of all of us being woven together — sometimes for no apparent reason at all — is what has created (and will continue creating) those special threads.”

This website will continually be updated with new photos and videos. The site is organized into video and photo sections. Folders within each section contain videos and pictures connected by events or themes.

Taken in whole, these images constitute a visual archive of a vibrant family who treasure every moment together as special.
