Holiday season is a time to be with family, often whether we like it or not. For thousands of us, going home to dysfunctional families is the norm, as is the stress that nearly always comes with the visit.

JD Ferguson’s dream to shoot Joey Kirchner came true earlier than he ever expected — exactly the day after he blogged about his wish to work with him.

Hit the gallery and you’ll see that JD even got to make his signature jockstrap shot :)
