During the business of the fall season, I was contacted by a young lady who wanted to give her parents the gift of a portrait session of their family. What a great idea! I don’t know the last time my family was photographed together – trying to get my parents in front of the camera isn’t easy, and I admit, I’m not so good about it these days myself. I wish we had more of us before we had gone in different directions, and I wish I knew in my twenties how good photos of myself then would look to me now! 😉
Some of these of the brother-sister interaction remind me of some I had with my sister and brother years ago. My mom was taking our photo before I went back to college the Thanksgiving break, and she had to go back in the house to get more film. (Remember that?) While we waited, my siblings and I took goofy photos of ourselves with my little point-and-shoot camera. Me on my sister’s back, my brother and sister doing my mom’s favorite “throw your head back over your shoulder” pose, my brother holding me in front of him, looking like a vein was about to pop in his head from the strain of it. Those are still some of my favorites – I love some playful interaction to remember those days.
Thank you, D family! It was so great to meet you all!
These pictures are so beautiful. You can see the love that this family shares. I was so touched. I’m Joe’s little sister and he is my favorite brother.
