Emily and I met at a recent event celebrating and empowering women in our community. Sometimes you meet people at just the moment you are meant to. Emily told me that her extended family was coming to town in just a few short days, and she asked if I could squeeze in a session with the beautiful women in her life. They aren't able to get together very often, and don't have any good photographs of all of them. You see, Emily lost her sister unexpectedly earlier this year and their family was planning a memorial service that weekend. Her mother, grandmother, aunt and 2 cousins would be in town from out of state. The significance of this session was so important, that we worked around everyone's travel schedules and were able to put together a session to celebrate these beautiful women (did I mention beautiful). I think everyone had fun and kept the mood light and celebratory. Makeup assistance once again by the talented Emily Froelich. (I hope everyone enjoyed their lashes :) While drawn together by tragedy, I was glad to be able to give these women some beautiful images to celebrate one another and also remember their sister, daughter, niece, granddaughter and cousin, Andrea.
