I don't take enough photos of my family. Perhaps I've subconsciously taught myself iPhone = family/snapshots, bigger camera = 'real photos.' Somehow I've relegated my family to a lower priority than strangers when it comes time to taking authentic portraits and capturing memories.
I had a chance to change that this last weekend when my parents had a joint 70th birthday party. They celebrated the joy of their love, friendships, and family surrounded by the people that knew them best. And with just a few snaps - and a few posed moments - I captured something I've rarely done before: the love my family shares with each other.
I'm pretty sure my Dad was trying to tickle Mom
My biggest interest is still in street portraiture, but I'll be less snobby and selfish about when I bring my camera up to my eye.
My mom doesn't like this one. Too bad
