Cathy and Tommy: Everyday We’re Changing

I’ve been telling everybody who would listen about this fantastic shoot I had with Cathy and Tommy’s family. Click the picture — or click here — to jump straight to the slide show. Turn up the sound, and here’s fair warning: have a box of tissues handy. This one’s a tear-jerker for sure!

Their daughter is fondly known as “Little Cindy Lou Who.”

I like to look for pictures that clearly show scale. How tall is this boy right now? In another year, he won’t be able to stand straight up on the top bunk without ducking!

And she won’t be able to prop her feet up on the dresser while pushing against the bed! (Well, unless the bed progressively moves out.) I love this picture because I remember doing this very thing against my dresser when I was a little girl.

    Julie– I agree, the natural shots are the best — particularly the use of depth of field to focus on the essence and the point of the imagery.
