{Sisters} Sheridan, Wyoming Photographers

Sisters are one of the greatest things God ever invented.  Truly, you have uncontrolled access to another closet full of stylish clothing (case in point: she actually wore my clothes for this shoot, haha), a collection of makeup that seems to work just right with your complexion and back in the day, a variety of male friends to choose from.  Seriously though, they are a friend to rely on when others let you down, a believer in your dreams and someone to grow old with.  I am blessed enough to have two of them, both of which have become even more invaluable to me as time passes and we acquire more lines and wrinkles and the battle wounds of motherhood.  I adore them both for different reasons and at the risk of sounding entirely sappy and overly sugary, I am so grateful to have them in my life and to call them my best friends.  At the end of the day, family is all that matters.

My oldest sister was here last week and we squeezed in a quick family session the night before they left.  We didn’t get much light to work with, but when it was all said and done, I do think we captured some sweet memories.  My other sis will be up next!

Here is where the cuteness begins…Yup, they’re darn cute together…but we’ll come back to them later.  Onto their sweet family of four…and their adorable littles…the kissing pictures were cracking me up….because that’s when my brother-in-law actually enjoyed the shoot.  =)  And so, I decided to photograph quite a few of them together…And one last one of the little miss that I took on her 10th birthday…To my sister: I hope you love these.  I miss you so very much and can’t wait to see you again!  To my other sister:  I love you more than words can describe and am so grateful to have you just a few minutes from me – you are next girl.  Here’s to many more years of sharing clothes, sharing secrets and sharing sisterhood.

    Great photos. I can tell your sister and her hubby are happy and in love. What a beautiful family. I esp love the photo of the four standing (parents kissing in the background) and the look on the little boy’s face. Priceless!

    Well, you are lucky to have your sisters for all the reasons you described, and they are so very lucky to have you, too. I teared up reading your post because I can read into how much you all love each other. I’ve never had a sister, and I have often wished for one. But, I am glad that my girls will have each other, and I hope that as they grow up and become adults, they are half as close as you and your sisters sound to be as :)

    I love the one with the kids in the foreground and the parents kissing in the background! It is a treasure.

    Hola :)

    Ok…I want to be adopted! That’s it! If I do all the complicated paperwork to change my name and all, do I get pictures like these??? Ha! Wish we were closer (as in the same country!) to have pics taken this summer…but I will start reminding you around October/November when it’s cold up there about sunny Mexico! Lots of love…
