I had so much fun with this family portrait session because I got the chance to catch up with two of my good friends from high school. I was so excited when Laura contacted me about taking their portraits because it had been way too long since we’d had a chance to get together. I headed back to Rock Hill for their pictures and could not believe how much the downtown has changed since high school. I especially loved the Freedom Alley where we took some of the pictures. It is a tribute to the Friendship Nine, a group of African Americans who were arrested for a sit in at a segregated lunch counter in Rock Hill, whose convictions were overturned in 2015.
Not only did I have the honor of taking pictures of Joe, Laura and their kids, Noah and Isla, but I also got to meet their two foster daughters. I cannot share pictures of those sweet girls but I loved being able to serve foster kiddos by taking pictures of them for their birth families. Thanks Joe and Laura for letting me capture these special memories for you with, as you call them, your permanent and temporary kids!
