Yikes! We’re over halfway through October already! Can someone pump the brakes, please! I feel like I’ve been thrown headfirst into the last couple of months and boy, has it been busy! As well as my usual portrait work, I’ve also had some unexpected opportunities in other genres of photography, so I haven’t been resting on my laurels much! 😉
This laid-back family session with teenage brothers was from last month and I so enjoyed it! These young men are big into basketball so they quite rightfully brought along their basketballs and showed me some of their skills. They’re quite tall so I had to have them sit down a lot or I had to stand on something to be able to get them in the frame! ;)
I’d hazard a guess that these sweet brothers won’t fully appreciate these photographs of them hanging out and horsing around together until, hmm, maybe 20 years down the line… When they’ve had lots of life experience, travelled, moved around, one day, they will look at these photographs and they will smile at their younger selves and feel so grateful that they have those great memories in print. Time can change a lot of things, but those precious moments in time captured in a photograph have the power to warm hearts for decades.
If you have teenage children, be sure to have them photographed. They need more than iPhone snaps to remember these years! Feel free to mail sandra@sandrajolly.com if you would like to book a Jolly portrait session. They are packed full of fun! ;)
Peace and love xoxo
