Friends and Family

Several years ago I was at a going away party for a couple who was moving away and we organized this fun photo of the folks who were there to say goodbye. 

I changed it to bw because I think it looks better than the color version. 

This is one of my favorite photos.

Decor in a Coffee Shop

My fave coffee shop has a wall that separates one seating section from another and on the back side of the wall are these 4 portraits.  

No names, but the photos are retro and are so sweet to look at.  Young people today will never know the joy of looking back at old photos of their family and friends.

Very sad.

Mom and her Mom

It was a cold 31 degrees this morning.  I still haven't exchanged my summer clothes for my winter clothes, so I just bit the bullet with what I had at my is disposal and was cold all day.

I also was completely uninspired about taking a photo today, so I found this image of my mother and her mother when they lived in the Bronx.   This might be the only photo I have of the two of them together so I really cherish it.

New Baby, New Portrait

Things were going along pretty well with this family portrait session until the little guy decided to have a melt-down. The big guy was doing a great job holding him in spite

of the wee one losing his patience.

For some reason, I really like this particular image.  

There were other images that might be more appealing, but I like the reality of this one.

I don't know which images the mom will choose, but this is still high on my list of favorites.

Partial Silhouette

I was out today enjoying the incredibly beautiful weather and looking for a photo op.  I was at the local park/lake when I saw this scene.  The people were spaced apart nicely and when I saw the image on my camera it looked like a great partial silhouette.

So there ya go.

My heart is grateful today for:

 Family Portrait Session

Yesterday I had the chance to do a portrait session with this fun family.

After making some images with their pets, we did a few with just the humans in the family. 

I'm so glad I decided to do this session in the studio~~it was a great way to contain the pets and the kiddos.
