I recently visited my parents in Arizona. They moved this summer to a new city, and thus, out of my childhood home. I’m pretty bummed about it, but at the same time, their new home is gorgeous, has lots of room for grandkids to run and play, and still feels like home even though I never lived there.

Anyway, I digress.

Alicia, the C family matriarch, lived down the street from me when I was in middle school (she was in high school at the time), our moms have been great friends for years, and the last time I was in town, she said the the next time I was in town, she wanted to schedule a session. This was their first family portrait in nine years. Nine! I am so glad I was able to photograph them. For not having pictures done in nine years, they were all pros. The girls posed themselves and were so cute about it. I love when clients make my job easier!
