"Cousins"




In 2008 Peter & I had a photo shoot with 3 of our nieces and their
extended families. We spent the morning at Whitnall park at the
height of spring color.
It was a pleasure arranging all of the various groupings together.

During the shoot, I was struck by the naturalness and poise of these
2 young ladies. At a time in their lives, when it may be difficult
to have your picture taken, these 2 were very cooperative.

Positioning them in the arm of the tree had both a natural look and
a playful look about it. Climbing trees when they were younger?
Wanting to look older than their years?

A year later, I took the time to paint this portrait.
