connecting generations




This past summer my family had our annual family reunion at my grandparents summer home.  While we were there, I found some old wood that was beautifully weathered and old.  I asked my mom if it would be okay if I took it for my studio.  Last week, I finally got to use it - it was so exciting.  I made sure that the first shoot I did was with my little one - their great granddaughter.  My grandparents never knew my children and so this was extra sweet for me.  In honor of the occasion, I dressed my daughter in a Navajo outfit I made for her.  I will treasure these pictures always.  It is a part of me in the generations before and after.

Wow, these are really great! Love it! Did you make the dress? I love her sash, turquoise, dress, and the back drop, it came together very well. And she is so cute! Teeth huh? :)

Yes, I made her this dress for Christmas. Making things for my little girl is my other addiction : )

Love the pics Michele, Ka'imi looks beautiful in her dress and outfit.
And the weathered wood is a nice addition.
