A Family Portrait

I am lucky enough to come from a family of creative people dating back numerous generations. In addition to various other arts, several photographers have been bred down the line. We are all born with a camera in our face (evidence of the hundreds of August shots that I have forced on you?), and we work on posing before we can walk. My great-grandfather was a physician, but he was also a professional photographer. My dad turned his hobby of photography into a second career when he purchased a photography studio, and my brother is also quite talented with this hobby. While my sister and I are novices in comparison, we both enjoy viewing and taking photos. Another family member, my cousin Tracy, turned her passion for the lens into a career. She and her husband, Michael, are a professional photographer couple living out in LA. He snapped this candid pic of our little family when we were all up at the ranch earlier this summer. You should check out more of their fabulous work here.
