It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything or taken a family photo for that matter.  My time has been cut short since I returned to teaching full time while still photographing when my schedule allows.  This spring break we decided to finally take a family pic capturing something we enjoy doing as a family.  The location is meaningful as well as it is in the neighborhood of dear family friends that past away this year.  This couple had a deep impact on my life as they encouraged my love for reading at a young age by buying me my first set of books.  They took an interest in my life and showed how they loved me in many ways.  They were family.  Even though they are no longer with us, this is my way of including them in our family pic.
