The First Family

The Rushings
Allow me to introduce you to "The First Family." This is the first photo shoot that sparked an idea that has grown into a part-time profession for me; something that I really love and enjoy. It was the celebration of Mrs. Billie's 78th birthday. What a party!


This is one of the sweetest families you will ever meet. They attend and serve in the same church as I do. Mrs. Billie worked in the nursery and pre-school for many years rocking babies and loving small children. She will have many stars in her crown for her giving spirit and selfless heart. She raised a loving family of children and has been blessed with wonderful grandchildren. They are very close-knit spending lots of time together, sharing special occasions, and lots of Sunday lunches. I felt so honored and humbled that they would ask me to make family pictures for them.

At that time, my camera was getting a little old and in no way did I have the new digital technology that I have now. A little scared that I would seriously bomb, I told them I would do my best. I had so much fun working with all the different family groups. I discovered something deep within and was reminded of how much I loved this kind of work and that I would like to do more of it.

One of the greatest things about my new profession is working with people, learning about them, who they are, and what makes them special. Please view a few more photographs of the day and enjoy this family as much as I did that day and now.
