My sister and I could not be more different. We are like night and day in personality. But we also share some commonalities…like our love for food and baking and our loud mouths! Yeah, I can admit it. No shame in my game y’all. I just blame it on my genes. I get it honestly. But back to the food and baking … my sister is an extremely talented cake creator. She has blown me away this past year with some of her masterpieces. We are both stay at home Moms and we love to be in our kitchens. That’s how we roll.
She and her family came over recently to have their Christmas pictures made. I swear, I am glad that her and Mike aren’t my “real clients” because they are the pickiest people ever. I wish that y’all could have heard them critiquing each image (not my work by the way…’cause I would have to lay a smack down on them over that…I mean being so hard on themselves) over my shoulder as we were narrowing down their favorites. “OMG…I look retarded in that one.” “Mike look at your head, it looks so big.” “Oh I hate that one.” “My smile looks stupid.” SERIOUSLY??? They drive me bonkers!!! They never love the images that I love and they always think something looks bad about themselves. And honestly, they both photograph very well. They both have beautiful eyes and great smiles (and gold teeth too…just in case you didn’t notice). What more do they want? At least my nephew doesn’t whine about his pictures. But how could he? He is a beautiful child…with his faint freckles, bleach blonde hair and sky blue eyes…he is a natural in front of the camera.
Anyhow, these are the few that actually “made the cut.” We are heading over to their house today to celebrate Christmas with them before they pull out tomorrow morning to share the holidays with Mike’s family. I love being with my family. We are typical…we love each other deeply, we are slightly dysfunctional, we are loud, sometimes obnoxious and set in our ways but we are always there for each other. And that’s how we roll. My sister has been a huge fan and supporter of my work and I love her for that! I am very proud of her family.
Merry Christmas Bruce Family!!!
You know I love all of these, especially the trike picture! It’s just too darn cute! And, FYI, Ken still talks about their elevator meeting, I guess it’s the southern charm!
What a beautiful family! Nice work!
Oh man .. I love all of them. They are all great!! I love the bike, by the way ; )

Great, great, great family photos. Your sister sparkles in front of the camera the same way that you do Dawn. One more thing you have in common.
