Family Ties

It’s not often that I get the pleasure and honor to photograph someone who is most special to me…my family. On Sunday afternoon I was thrilled to be able to photograph one of my cousins, Lori T. I couldn’t help let my mind drift back to much simpler times…ones where playing “house” and being choreographers to none other than Lee Greenwood’s God Bless America and going to swimming pool birthday parties and sleep overs were the hottest things on our agendas. Cousins are those people who we bond with as children and are lucky when those same relationships grow into mature friendships and bonds that will last a lifetime.

Now than she is a new mother of a beautiful baby girl Libby, she asked me to photograph Libby’s first portraits. What an honor! I love being a person that is included in people’s most sacred and momentous moments in life…but when it’s my own family, well that’s better yet. Thanks Lori and Libby for letting me be apart of your life.
