This photo shoot was a very special one for me not only because I was able to photograph one of my very best friends and her family, but also because I was able to do it at this time in their lives.
Background story: Sarah, the oldest daughter, has been one of my best friends since elementary school. She was one of my giggly girlfriends that I had sleepovers with and stayed up late at campouts in her parents backyard every summer. We grew up and went off to college, but one thing didn’t change: our families have always been each others. Just like we shared everything else, her little sister was like my little sister, her parents were just like my own ( I probably would have given her my brother if she would have taken him). So when Les, her dad, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease a few years ago it hit me as well as our other close friends not to take life and your loved ones for granted.
Back to the present. When Sarah asked me to do a session with them I was ready to do it that day! Although I had to wait a couple weeks we got in a great evening to do their shoot out her parent’s home.I get chills just looking at some of the images and seeing how much love surrounds those four people. Looking at the photos of Les you can really tell how much he loves all 3 of his girls. This is why I do what I do and I love my job.
Thank you Sarah, Elizabeth, Jackie, and Les for letting me capture these images for you. Love you all!
