This month my parents asked me to take photos of them for a Christmas gift. Let me just say, we've never really done photos together before and I enjoyed how surprised they were that I was so "professional".
Of course I love my parents, and I love how funny they are. In my opinion, the more you know people the better the session is. You can really capture who they really are. I love getting to know my clients as we take photos, as I think it really enhances the overall product.
So these are my wonderful parents! My dad is also into photography, and helped me when I first started photography (I started on film only, and loved it. If you've developed your own photos, you'll never forget that wonderful smell of a darkroom). My dad also taught me to be a business woman, and gave me my first (and second) photoshop program. My mom is creative and artsy and always encouraged me to think outside the box and craft all the time! They helped me buy my very first digital camera back in elementary school, a little canon point and shoot.
