On Sunday, we met up with Carrie and her daughter Lindsay at Mesa Center for the Arts for some family photos.  Carrie & I worked together a long, long time ago, so it was so much fun to catch up with her.  And the last time I saw Lindsay, she was just a kid.  Now she’s a gorgeous (almost 17-year-old) woman!  It was so much fun observing their relationship during their time together.  You can tell just by looking at them that they’re much more than mother and daughter . . . their also best friends :-)  It’s all very “Gilmore Girls” if you ask me.  Ha ha ha!

(Please sign the guestbook if you’d like to be notifed when the rest of their photos are online.)

Here are some of our favorites from their session.

We discovered right away that making these two laugh was going to be pretty easy :-)

They had some very interesting posing ideas.  Both of these just make me laugh!

Adorable!

So many great laughs!  You just can’t help but laugh along with them!

And what mother/daughter combo doesn’t walk down the street together while skipping?

Love it!

Peak-a-boo!

They joked with us about how people always think they’re sad or mad when they’re not smiling because they both tend to stand with their arms crossed.  Of course, we had to test the theory.  Not quite as easy to be serious when you’ve got two cameras pointed at you, huh?

What a cute pair!  Love the colors in these next two.

Carrie said that the last time they had photos taken Lindsay was about 10 and this was their favorite pose.  You’re never too grown up for a piggy back ride, right?

So at the end of our session, we attempted to do one of our notorious jumping shots, but we quickly discovered that there was going to be a little wardrobe issue.  Every time they jumped the neck of their sweaters would fly up and totally cover their faces.  So we went with this instead.  Love it!

Thanks for the fun session you guys!  And happy almost birthday Lindsay :-)
