A busy weekend, right in the middle of my marathon of sessions today, I met with three week old Cameron and his big sister Olivia at the studio.

A rainy, cold, November morning, not ideal conditions for family photos, but that did not stop my Rhode Island friends.  Three families, back to back to back, we made the best of the situation. Found protection from the rain in the woods, on paths and in this old doorway. First up were these 3, I have photographed Gracie and her brothers for a few years – this is my favorite photo yet. A quick look over her shoulder, holding her brothers hands. How the boys clothes bookend her light dress, while we hid from the rain. I hope the family enjoys it as much as I do. Next year, we are talking about sessions in Newport… I vote we incorporate the sun.

My Mother keeps everything, well not exactly everything she had no problem selling all my Transformers, GI Joes and He-Man toys at a yard sale for a quarter, but thank God she kept these photos taken of me, my sister and brother when each of us were in the second grade. (We think it was second grade – maybe my second grade teacher can chime in – she might read this).

So, here we are with almost 70 years collectively since we were in the second grade posing for this lovely memory. I am sure if I print it out and put it between felt my mother will hang it somewhere, though I would rather have those action figures. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday to my sister Kristen.
