Once a year I round up the troops for our annual “family” portrait.  This past year was no exception.  Well maybe, except for the fact I forgot to post the photos on the blog!  At last here are my two favorite images from our family portrait session.  My mentor and friend Tom Moore photographed us.  This has been an ongoing tradition.  It’s fun to look back at Dzifa and I (of course the dogs too) to see how much we have changed. 

It’s not hard to love your niece and nephew especially when they are this cute.  I went on a family vaction to visit my dad and step-mom in Florida.  As luck would have it I was able to overlap my trip with my sister and her family.  I think I have a small obsession to photograph little girls with pig-tails.  Braden, my nephew, is getting so big.  He is so sweet and curious about everything.  Kennedy, my niece, is a little ball of energy.  I have a new appreciation for my sister after chasing the two of them around for two days. 

My trip wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t take their family portrait at the beach.  Who can resist a perfect sunset?  Not me!  You can always view their slideshow if you want to see more.
