I started this last week and will definitely continue this. It's Family Friday again at my house, and while we celebrate, I am celebrating families I work with on my blog.

I have known Mrs. Flora since we were in elementary school! Ironically she now works as a teacher at the same elementary school that we attended together (often in the very same classes together). I'll never forget the year that she and I and another friend participated in our local 4-H Talent Show. We danced to the one and the only, Paula Abdul's Straight Up. Ah-mazing! At least we thought we were, and so did the judges because we made it through to the regional competition. Memories!

So I was excited when I randomly drew her family to win a photo give away contest that I was doing. What makes working with families so much fun is that the only thing you can expect is to take their photos. Everything is so unexpected - from what they'll wear, how the kids (or dad) will react to having their picture taken, and whether the weather will be on your side that day. Well everything was perfect for their family session we did in the summer of 2013.
