I'm a history buff. I'm especially a family history buff. I love hearing stories about our family's past and have even done a little genealogical digging myself. Someone once told me, "You can't know who you are unless you know where you've come from," and I believe it to be true.
That's why I was so pleased when Darla called to make an appointment for a family session with a special desire to get a special photo including herself, her mom and her grandma for a "three generations" image. For a very short time in my own life, there were five generations of women living. Now I have a better understanding of how truly unusual that is. We have a snapshot to commemorate those days, but I wish I had something more like this....

Aren't they beautiful?
Grandma + Grandkids + Great-Grands
What makes these even more special is that we were able to shoot the session on their grandparents' farm.

Tears in my eyes as I thought how nice it would be to have some wonderful shots like these of my grandmas. What a great idea, not to mention great pictures!
