Liz is not only a friend but also a professional photographer. Now, it doesn't matter if the person is your friend or not, when you are shooting the family of a fellow photographer, the pressure is on. Totally self inflicted, naturally, but still there nonetheless. Admittedly, I was nervous going in. But Liz being Liz, I relaxed right away and went about doing what I do. Liz and I have a ton in common (well, except for the part where she is gorgeous and skinny, whatever, details...). We even got our noses pierced right around the same time without even talking to each other first about it! Haha! Honestly, we have so many similiarities, we could be long lost twins! :)
It goes without saying that the priority here was not solo images of the kids,but rather images of the family that ACTUALLY include Liz in the mix. I can attest to the fact that my children will most likely not have any clue as to what I looked like during their childhood as the images of me with them (or of me at all!) are sparse... So the focus was to get as many shots of Liz with the kids as possible, as well as several solo shots of her to use on her website etc...
We had a really fun shoot and even though Liz seems to think she isn't remotely photogenic (what?!), I do believe I've managed to squash that theory with these images. Stunning woman.
Due to the extra headshots portion for Liz, this is a LONG post with a TON of images... ENJOY!
