I’m not gonna check my stats but I believe that these folks are the MVP’s of my blog. Aside from my own family, they’ve probably appeared on here the most! (Can you tell by my vocabulary that the Cardinals Game is on in our house??) 🙂
This is all because my friend (and owner of the salon where I work) Suzie, has trusted me to photograph her, her family, and even some of my co-workers.
But I’ve never had the priviledge to photograph her ENTIRE family.
Mom, Dad, Kids, and Grandkids. Beautiful family, huh?
When I think of Suzie, I think of love. She genuinely loves any person that she encounters in her life. We’ve got a special bond as we both share similar experiences of loss within our family. Both of our brothers passed away at a young age and in a similar manner. She’s been a significant part of my life. She’s been a shoulder to cry on and a person to grieve with. She’s helped me find a way to healing from loss.
It felt just as important to me to photograph this family as it did to her. Like Suzie, I know that time is fleeting and we never know when we as a family can all be together at once. On this day, while I was photographing, I was leading with my heart.
Recognize this beautiful girl? Of course you’ve seen her with her sisters, and for her senior photos, but most recently she was the cute mommy-to-be this past summer.
What a special thing to have sisters. Everytime I see them together, I get a teensy bit jealous that I was the only girl. I can’t even imagine that kind of friendship between siblings.
The kiddos above are just the baby grandkids – or “Baby Grands” as I like to call them… let’s not forget about some of the “Bigger Grands” who already cause a good amount of fun and trouble. 🙂
