sister

So, I have quite a backlog of work that I haven’t shown.  And these images are from a good while ago!

These two beautiful women, Kate and Megan, are sisters.  They organised this shoot for their mother as a gift for Mothers’ Day.  They organised it in an amazingly elaborate way, to ensure their mother never found out about it.  Great hilarity ensued as the scheme to meet and shoot their session came underway.  Their mother, Jo, was super suspicious….a mothers instinct!  The story was that they were having breakfast together (they even planned out the meal that they would have eaten) and then going to a day long make-up artistry course – which would explain why they had a face full of beautiful make-up when they met later on for dinner!!  See….elaborate!!  What a ruse!  And although she was suspicious, Jo never guessed!  What’s more, I was lucky enough that Kate recorded her mothers response on receiving the images! It was everything you could wish for!  I have to admit, I am a little personally invested with these girls – as I worked for a time with Jo, and occasionally, Kate.  They are a beautiful family – strong, grounded and connected.    As you can see, Kate and Megan are both beautiful!  But more than that, they are gorgeous on the inside too.  They have a vivaciousness for life, yet a beautiful sensitivity to it too.  They’re girls that you’d be proud to call your daughters.  They’re a credit to their mother, and knowing Jo, it’s obvious that she definitely led these girls by example.  I am so grateful, and humbled that Kate and Megan trusted me to take these images for them.  And I have to be honest, if I were able to handpick a sister, I’d pick these girls.
Thank you so much Kate and Megan, you beautiful women, you!
And  a special thank you to the greatest little make-up artist extraordinaire, Kaelee Pini.
