It's a generational thing...

This year was my first year to try a generational photo shoot. You might have seen it before on Pinterest or other photography sites. It's the one where you have three or four generations of family members each holding a frame with a photo of another family member from another generation. Well, I was approached by a client to see if I can do this for her. I had taken her family photos a while back when her mother was still with us and not long after, she passed away. She asked if I could do a generational photo using a photo of her that I took then. I was all in for the challenge. It turned out great! Not only was she pleased with the results, she was overwhelmed with emotion. I did another generational photoshoot after that, slightly different, but still turned out perfect! Here they are:

Next up, is not really like the ones above, but it's still kind of a generational thing, per say. A few years back, when I was pregnant with my son, a lady at work came to me and asked if I could take photos of her Aunt. Her Aunt was to turn 100 years old in a couple of months. I jumped at the opportunity! I had never met anyone that age before. She was a cute, feisty little lady, that's for sure. I asked her when her birthday was and she told me it was April 13th. I told her my son was due sometime in April. Well, he was born on April 12th...which would make them one day shy of 100 years apart! My coworker and I have been talking about bringing them together for a photo shoot and we finally did it four years after her 100th birthday. Here are the results:
