So… Jessie and my daughter, Grace, met in 6th grade in middle school and became friends. I remember Jessie’s mom, Melanie, calling to invite Grace to Jessie’s birthday party. In talking, we figured out that I knew Melanie’s sister, Shanda. I used to work with Shanda at a day care when I was 18! I remember when she and Russ started dating. Shanda married Russ and now they have two beautiful daughters, Lillie and Caroline. Ok, I know that was a lot of information… and I promise I am going somewhere with this so, bear with me. Melanie contacted me a few months ago wanting to do a portrait session of Jessie. She also wanted to bring Shanda’s family along to do some pictures of all 3 girls together. They wanted to re-create a picture of the girls from years ago. A picture of all 3 cousins in a tree.(shown below)
This is the photo we were trying to re create. From Left to Right: Lillie, Caroline, Jessie.
This is Jessie. So pretty.
