i must sound like a broken record by now but i cannot stress enough how important it is to get your folks together + to have your family portrait photographed. i had the complete honor to do just that for the carlow crew this summer [hello, do you recognize lisa frechette photography? such a huge compliment for a fellow photographer to ask me to document their extended family…but we all know how much i heart lisa!] turns out even her extended family thinks i am funny. smart group…+ they brought a puppy which you should all know by now is my favorite.
love love love this three generation family session that took place in scituate ri. the matriarch of this family is a master gardener + i have to tell you i was in awe of her hydrangea tree…yes tree…such a lush + beautiful backdrop to this touching + intimate session.
i love thinking about future generations looking through my photographs; sharing stories + memories of the people included in these photographs, comparing similarities + pointing out family resemblances. the thought that after we are long gone a photograph can immortalize us, bring us back, make us known to future generations; gives me all the feels. this session here is very special to me because these three are very special to me. i am so grateful to be trusted to document their bond, not only for them but for the future generation as well. roger williams park in cranston rhode island was the perfect location for this autumn ‘mommy and me’ session.
[ethereal flower crown tea party was all the momma’s idea, thanks liz for making my job easy with not only beautiful subjects but a beautiful backdrop as well!]
this family has invited me into their lives for over 6 years + each time they contact me to help document their ever changing lives i am overcome with gratitude for this gift of photography. a gift that can freeze time also while showing its progress. each time i see their children i am blown away by their growth as well as their developing + unique personalities. the inquisitive oldest + contemplative youngest. it is a blessing to see these subtle transformations over the years. i hope that the tradition carries on for a long long time.
if you are looking to add a yearly family portrait to your traditions i am running a portrait special for the whole year as an added incentive.check this out to see more information.
