Recently, I was asked if I had any “Stock Photography” of a 4 generation family portrait of women to be used for the cover of a magazine. Hmmmmm…. well, I was sure that I did somewhere but it would require contacting families and getting permission, etc. I decided to photograph my grandmom, mom, sister and baby niece. This portrait session was, as expected, a lot of fun and full of laughs!
My amazing, beautiful, fantastic, funny & kind grandmother (I can’t say enough about her!), very unfortunately, suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. Ughh… I hate to give that terrible word a capital A but since it was named after a physician and is the proper punctuation I will leave it be….for now…. :/
ANYWAY, we went to visit my grandmother at her now home, Arden Courts – Warminster. If you have a family member that suffers with this destructive disease and are looking for help and care, this is a wonderful place! It is clean, the staff is really nice, the food is good, the residents get their own bed and bathroom, it is not overcrowded and there are always an array of fun and creative activities going on day and night.
I am so glad that we took these photographs! Though Kylie (my niece) and my nephews will never get to know first hand just how fantastic their great grandmother was…. I am glad that there will always be many great stories and, of course, photographs.
By the way, I will let you know if any of the photos make it to the magazine!! 🙂
