The last time I remember Keith and I getting our photographs taken together, just the two of us was at our wedding, about 33 years ago. Now as we enter a new phase of "empty nest" I thought it would be good to mark it with current pictures of us as we are now. Honestly, I don't like getting my picture taken. I think I always look older than I feel on the inside. My grandmother used to say the same thing, and I always thought, "I love you just the way you are." She never seemed old until the very end of her life because she was young on the inside. So I am trying to apply that to me. 

I was so pleased with Heidi Helser's engagement photography of our daughter and son-in-love. So I thought she could put her creative vision to good use in making us feel at ease and seeing us through a new lens. She really is amazing at it. At the end of our photo session she took some pictures of me in the studio, giving us a sneak preview of the photos and showing a glimpse of what I love to do. These photos make me feel like I'm welcoming you into my studio. I am so grateful. It's good to celebrate a new beginning!
