In the spirit of dogs, and my family NOT getting one this week, I decided to name my next two blog posts after the lovely dogs who brought their owners to me last Saturday. Now usually I don’t double blog, but I am today because I fear that I might never get to these blog posts otherwise. I went from a ridiculously hectic week right into Memorial Day weekend to a jam-packed next week mentoring an old friend, running workshops and my OWN family session next weekend! I thought perhaps I could also double blog because not only did both families come with their four legged friends, but apparently the two legged friends are friends as well! [that make sense? no... sometimes my jokes fall flat].
We had a great day at Elm Bank and I had a blast with these guys. It was a fun challenge to shoot two different sessions and not just replicate one after the other. I really like people to have different, and unique sessions. The kids were great and I really loved getting to know them all. I love watching how kids interact with each other and I love looking back at the images and seeing how the kids resemble their parents in not only features, but affectations, smiles, glances. I also love developing connections, finding out how parents met, figuring out what makes them work as a family.
What I netted out with these two families is that good parents make good kids. Plain and simple. So that’s my lesson for the day.
Enjoy the weekend.
Meet Bode.
Meet Ketch.
