Families, I have realized are where it’s at for me. I love families and the interaction they have together, in their comfort zone. Happiness, aggravation, laughter, tension, exhaustion, emotions, smiles, jokes, sarcasm, honesty- all of the things that make a family a family. The wonderful thing about a family is the ability to be yourself but still be loved and accepted unconditionally, no matter what your issues are. Blood is thicker than water ya know.
Being a part of other families makes me happy and helps me realize how important mine is. I appreciate SO very much the effort my dad made through the years to have his camera at all times. And for the efforts of all my family members. Even back in the 30′s, 40′s and 50′s. They left memories for me to hold on to and have allowed me to be a part of the past. Only photographs can do that.
One day this family will look back on these photographs and be so thankful they put the effort into making this happen. Although it’s stressful, it’s absolutely necessary. Priceless!

The Infamous GG. Photographed her last year. Fun to watch her grow up. One of my most favorite families, and good friends.









The babies together. Absolute cuteness.

This was a lot of work. On everyone’s part. It was hot, oh so hot, but can you tell? I can’t.
