I gave away a free family session at the beginning of the year. When I drew the Ellis' name I was so excited. They were our first neighbors when we moved to California. I worked with Amy for many years. We sadly lost touch 5 years ago, when we moved a few hours north. I could have taken pictures of them all day just to talk to them.
These girls are growing into such beautiful young ladies. They were so easy to take pictures of, even the littlest one. Their Daddy jumped in for a few and I'm so glad that he did!
My beautiful younger sister is graduating college in May. She will be an interpreter for ASL. She needed a head shot for her portfolio. Since I didn't have my studio with me in Wisconsin, we laid a black blanket on the stairs at my parents house and worked with what lighting was there.
While visiting my family in Wisconsin, we decided to take some family pictures. This was my first experience of taking pictures that I'm in. We all had a blast!
