I distinctly remember my mom taking my sister Amy and I for studio portraits when we were young. She was an artist and it was important to her that our portraits be very artistic and stylish. She definitely had a vision for what she wanted. I remember 1 trip to the studio in particular….Amy was 6 and I was 8. What I remember is what we wore that day…brown turtlenecks, brown leather jumpers, black tights and high brown boots (this was 1971…what else would you expect?). We were always dressed the same for pictures….different colors usually but always the same. The background was a dramatic splotched brown/gray. Amy had a little shag hair cut and my hair was long and strait. I remember walking into this dim studio with big lights and cameras. The outcome was just what my mom wanted…portraits of her precious girls. She was so proud of these images of us and still has them up today. Amy…my sister and best friend…always by my side in pictures when we were young. Oh…I have been thinking, you know the rule that Mom had about the oldest always sitting in the front seat? You were right, it really was not fair. Love you!
I had such a wonderful session today with 3 beautiful sisters. We traveled a bit and were able to really capture some great images. I had a very hard time choosing the ones for my blog! The oldest Brittany is leaving for college tomorrow, this session was a special time for all. Here is a little preview Diane!
