AUNT DARLENE & FAMILY

This is my Aunt Darlene. She is a kind-hearted woman with a gentle soul. She is sweet, caring, humorous, loving, generous and most of all she loves her family. When she asked me about taking some photos for her, I was honored and also excited that I would get to see cousins that I had not seen in years. It was like I was getting a double treat…a photo shoot and some amazing fun family time.

This is my Aunt Darlene…she is awesome!

Did I mention my Aunt Darlene is quite a “character”? She loves to have fun and act silly…I guess it runs in the family.

These are my beautiful cousins…Joey, Lisa and Debbie. Although they live in three different areas of the United States, they are as close as if they were neighbors. We hung out before the shoot and reminisced about our “younger” days…ha ha. We mostly laughed.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the shoot…

Yes…she is SMART and she is BEAUTIFUL!

I love this shot of Joey and his partner, Barry. Aunt Darlene had picked this park for our shoot at the last minute. Joey & Barry’s clothes coordinated beautifully with the green background, so they get an A++ for style! :)) big smile.

With three kids, Debbie and her husband, Jim never get photos by themselves. So we made sure to kick the kids aside for a couple shots.

I just love these next two images. Once and awhile I will ask for a little PDA (public display of affection)…but rarely do I get this reaction. I absolutely LOVE Jim’s expression and laughter after kissing Debbie. The photo on the right makes me smile in my heart. I don’t think he realized he was going to get to make-out with his wife during the shoot…ha.ha. Jim, I think its time for another honeymoon for you two.

I love these shots of Aunt Darlene with her children.

This photo caught my eye because of the way Lisa was looking at her Mom. This image shows the admiration Lisa has for her Mom.

Aunt Darlene laughed the entire shoot. I could tell she was having a wonderful day. She looked very happy and that made me happy.

This is a random shot I grabbed of Lisa when I turned around from shooting. She looks as though she is doing a commercial on “How COOL you are when you drink WATER…” ha ha.

My cousin Debbie has three kids. Here are the twins, Eric and Brittany. Obviously, we had to talk them into “playing nice” for some photos.

I hope they don’t mind me posting these. I asked them to “work it” for my camera so I could get some fun shots. Bravo…bravo, great job guys. Of course they had an audience behind me cheering them on. LOL.

I did manage to get them to settle down for one “nice” shot.

This is Joey. He is the big brother to the twins. He recently had some really cool senior photos done in Colorado, so he was ok with just chillin’ out behind us on the fence. However, I still grabbed a couple quick shots of him.
