cathie is an old schoolmate of mine from high school (gooooooo EAGLES!) and we had been trying to get together for this shoot for almost a year now. we finally got our schedules to work out (Wonder Twin powers… activate! Form of…. a mighty lion with all the powers of nature. Shape of… a bucket of ice cubes. oh boy… the one twin just … i mean, talk about being overshadowed!). we were sort of getting together to shoot her youngest little girl, but her three boys were there too and we agreed to just go all out and shoot everybody.
and try to tell me you are not immediately pulled in by the tractor beams of her eyes… huh?
i took some of these back with some old school workings…
her youngest boy was a natural with the camera. at one point, we told him to not focus on the camera as much, but some of these really worked.
it was really refreshing to see how helpful the kids were with each other and witness their love for each other.
many photographers can attest to the workout some sessions with kids can be, chasing them around most of the time. when she decided to sit down, i wasn’t exactly rushing her to stand up and get on the move again. :)
and a little ode to the mama that is well loved.
it was such a pleasure to meet all of her kids for the first time. i have to say, it was clear that they will grow up to be just older versions of their already outstanding selves. i hope we get to do it all over again some time!
