The Morrison Family

June 16, 2018

This family shoot was a really cool one.  Get this – mom (Terry) is the aunt of two of the kids I used to babysit when I lived in NYC!!  How very small the world is.

When Terry first reached out to me and expressed interest in an outdoor shoot, I mentioned to her how I had always wanted to do a shoot at Ponce City Market in the Old Fourth Ward Park.  Funny enough, she had family ties to the area…her brother owned a business there and she mentioned that it held a special place in her heart.

One of my favorite things that I do is provide an instant camera that I call my “big sister/big brother” camera.  (You’ll notice Jax has it in the bottom picture, catching a picture of mom and dad!)  The kids always get to take a few shots with it and then the pictures are their’s to take home at the end of the day.  I always wind up getting a shot of the “cameraman/woman” taking the instant pictures and it makes for some really special moments.

I can’t wait to work with this sweet family again, and I really can’t wait to see the kids grow and change, and love each other more and more.  They truly are a one of a kind family.
