My niece
This past weekend, Thanksgiving weekend, was a time to visit with my family and spend some time at Tahoe with my brother and his daughter. Although I love to take photos of people, there is no better photo opportunity for me than photographing my family. This weekend was great for that.
My niece (above right) asked me to take a few head shots of her for a Christmas gift for her grandfather. So, I took her outside and we just had a good time together taking some photos. She’s quite photogenic (maybe aside from the above photo) and a fun gal to be around. She and my daughter (above left) are close in age (6 months apart) and close friends. They also look quite a bit alike…many people mistake them for sisters.
So here are a couple of my favorite photos that we took together. Isn’t she just the cutest thing?
She also brought her boyfriend along. So, I dragged him outside to do a brief photo shoot of him.
He was cooperative and fun. It doesn’t hurt that he is very handsome. I enjoyed getting to know him a little better.
But, the most fun was when I took my niece, my daughter and this young man outside to do a photo shoot with the three of them. They found some old hats in the cabin and insisted on using them as props. I’ll let the audience be the judge. (I told them to pretend they were at a cowboy’s funeral. This is the pose I got…snort.)
