Kids

I worked with so many kinds of families today. One close knit but definitely dysfunctional family. Another family who is severely struggling with attachment and truth and mental health issues. I also had the opportunity to talk with the Guardian ad Litem about another one of my families. We laughed and struggled to avoid crying. In a rare moment, the county attorney, public defender, GAL and I had a moment of common empathy. You would have to be familiar with the courts to see how rarely this occurs. PDs and GALs team up with one side or the other and complete allegiances and alliances.

The last family was the marriage family of a photo classmate. Her nieces came in. The younger for a senior portrait. This is one of a handful of shots I took. Most of my work tonight was the lighting technician. But I did manage to squeeze off a couple of beautiful shots. This is one of my favorites. She worked hard and endured a long session with 3 photographers and a few lighting/background/wardrobe changes. However, I think she will love the eventual results.
