Very few things draw me in like a beautiful photograph.  I don't know if it's the connection with the subject or if it's something deeper.  Family photography is a passion of mine.  I believe we should all find the time and energy to capture our lives whether that's with our phone camera, a professional photographer or a home video.  We have to be our own historians.  If nothing more, we are recording our history for our descendants and that is important work in telling our story and giving our descendants a piece of themselves.

I'm saddened by the fact that my mother does not have a photograph of her own mother, who died when she was 6 years old. Unfortunately, I don't know what my grandmother looks like even though I'm told we have many resemblances.  My mom only has bits of memories from her short time on earth with her mom.  I wish, at the very least, she had a picture of the two of them together so that she could have a visual of the love her mother had for her.

Today's blog features mother and daughter, Christina and Sunny (who is truly sunshine!).  Christina wanted to capture her nursing relationship with Sunny before it came to an end. So she called me up to tell their story.  This was my first nursing photography session and I have to say it was a beautiful and natural experience.  We created some of my favorite images within my portfolio.  Because of their private nature, I can't share all of my favorites, but here are a few.
