The Lewis Family ~ (Family)

This shoot was a real privilege for me. The two young ladies in the photos below were delightful to work with. I don't know them well, but I can tell they are very good friends as well as sisters. Sisterhood is cool like that.

The young man in the pictures was on brief leave for the holidays after finishing up his basic training. He was leaving within a few days, so I was very glad and honored that his father asked me to do this family shoot for them. I was pleasantly surprised to have this young man ask me to get a few artistic shots of him after we had gotten some more traditional ones. A man in uniform always commands a certain amount of respect, and I think I may have been a little more tentative than otherwise, so I'm glad he asked about it.

I enjoyed this shoot very much. Hope you do, too.

Angie & Emily ~ (Family)

I come from a large family, ten of us in all. With most of us grown and half of us married, it is rare that we are actually all in the same place. But last week, it actually happened as we gathered for a big birthday celebration for my dad.

While we were together, I was able to get a photo shoot with my two younger sisters. Angie (the taller one in the pictures) and I were practically inseparable when we were little. Emily was the typical (somewhat annoying) little sister who liked to follow us around and try to get in on whatever we were playing. As we got older, though, it became more natural to include Emily into our little twosome, and when I left the nest to get married, Angie and Emily formed a strong bond of their own. The photos below display proof of the fact that sisters make the very best friends.

I took pictures for another sweet family last week as well. I usually try to pick five to ten favorites to post from among the ones that I edit, but this time I had such a hard time choosing that I decided to break my rule and post a couple extra. :-)
