These photos were not taken today, but I'm still grateful today for the experience.  During the past couple weeks, I've been thinking about photographing other families.  It was becoming a nagging itch that I could no longer ignore.  It's time that I start scratching.  I'm not sure what will happen, but it's time to give it attention.  So I began asking family & friends if I could photograph them.  And a few have asked even before I could dial their phone number.  Asking was the first little jump.  A watermark was the second.  A website will be the third. 

My SIL let me practice on her kids this past weekend.  These kids know me.  They're comfortable with my questions & my camera wielding ways.  I'm aware that these facts make a photographer's job much easier.   Once we got passed the "No Cheese" zone & when they realized I was going to shoot even if they weren't looking, we got along quite well.  Here are a few of my favorites:
