Photo Stories

Here we are at Monday again! They come so quickly these days, that's for sure. Only two more Mondays until Christmas. Hopefully by next Monday I will have all gifts bought, baked, wrapped and shipped. That's my goal!

Today is shopping (groceries), bill paying and cleaning - plus picking a friend up at the airport!

Here are some photos from the photo shoot I did of Andy's family on Thanksgiving Day.

It's funny about taking photos of people you know pretty well. You read their stories into the photos and begin to assume that everyone who sees the photos can read the stories too. But as you look at these pictures you don't see the joys and the sorrows, the celebrations and the concerns. You just see beautiful people (well, at least most of them are beautiful - hehehehehe!) Trust me, just like you, these people have the ups and downs, and go arounds of life. Isn't that what makes it worth taking their picture? I think so! It makes me wish I had photos like these of every person I've ever cared about to remind me of their stories, their specialness, their struggles and their triumphs.

Can you tell I'm all sentimental? That's what comes from watching the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie. Cry at the commercials. Cry at the happy ending. Get all sappy about photos. Yep, it's a holiday tradition, don't you know!
