Just a small part of the holiday weekend.....

It's not every day that I get to take AWESOME shots of two of my most wonderful family members. Well, I do get to shoot a lot of my family - (I don't mean literally!)
This project had a purpose - and although it was a bit time consuming - it's always fun shooting my parents. Their true personalities just bubble to the surface. I get a small glimpse of what they must have been like a few.... (hmmm, almost 40?) years ago, when the romance began. It's a lot of fun, a bit amusing, very endearing - however - they are still my mom and dad,
so there's a small part of {BARF} in there too.
;)

This is a SOOC (straight out of camera) shot of
my mother. So many times I get asked if she's my
sister. She laughs, and thinks I hate it.
But looking at this, how can that be a bad thing? ;)

again, sooc. With another one of my FAV's.
(smooch!)

ok, since I was so nice in the first few - here's an
example of how the shoot REALLY went.....
hahahahahahahahaha

My studly dad.
He's so handsome.
All of my brothers
look like him too.
I was lucky enough to
have my own two boys get a
smidge of 'Cook' in them.
(except for that height thing??!)

My parents are wonderful people.
Congratulations on your
"project".
You will both do wonderful.
