You (and them) just inspired me. My husband's granny & grandaddy just celebrated 60 years in April...I want to take them outside and snap pictures of them! We held a party in their honor and gave them a digital picture frame with a memory card full of pictures and taking a "portrait" of them hadn't even crossed my mind. Thank you!

Congratulations to your grandparents. What a blessing to have their example in your family. I love the light and trees!

Yum! That light is WONDERFUL! What is your secret for getting grandparents to cooperate with your camera? I have one grandma that cooperates, and one that doesn't. My husband's grandma and grandpa aren't so thrilled about getting their picture taken either, but ALL the grandparents are my favorite people to take pictures of. I loved these images!

Rachel, I really wish I had a secret to impart. My grandparents really aren't fans of having their pictures taken either. I've tried before in candid situations and they weren't thrilled. When I got out there though my Grama made a point to tell me that she wanted a picture of her and Grandpa because they hadn't had one in a while. So after I finished photographing my sweet niece I just walked in the house and said, "okay guys, your turn!" and they followed! It only took about 2 minutes to get the actual shots...I knew they weren't going to be up for anything much longer than that. So there wasn't a lot of posing but it was fun and I'm thrilled that I have these images forever.
