My BABY Sister...

...and a photo-overload blog post.
I went home last week and got to spend a little bit of time with my family.
This is my little sister, Julie. I was 8 yrs old when she was born and I don't think that my mom would disagree when I say that I was her 2nd mother. I LOVED having a baby to take care of.
Well, now she is all grown up and so very beautiful and talented. She has a gorgeous voice and plays the guitar. She has recorded a demo cd that the local music store has agreed to sell for her. So.... I got to do a mini photo shoot with her to try to get some images for her cd cover!!! So, when you all see this beauty in your own music stores, you can say you "met" her here first. :)

SMOKIN' your photography and your sister! I vote for #3 on the CD cover :) I love all of these. Your colors and clarity are to die for.

Awesome work big sis! They turned out better than I ever could have imagined...("you're getting there") I think I'm going for #3 too - up close & definitely personal. Thanks a million - i miss you too!

Holy heck, she looks just like you! You have a lot of the same facial expressions! You did a great job on these! I think you should put some of her music on your blog since I know how much you love blog music! :)

I can't believe how much she looks like you and your mom. I think that the last time I say Julie she was like 12?? It's so strange to see your siblings or your friends siblings all grown-up. The photos are beautiful by the way!

Oh she's gorgeous! I like the on in the tree the most. But all of them are awesome.

Mindy said...

These are awesome! She is a beauty. In fact, she looks a lot like you :)

Each of these are stunning. Your sister is gorgeous! I like #3, #5, and the last one the best (though it's too hard to narrow it down). Let us know which she choses!

Laura said...

The colors and skin tones on these are phenomenal. I can't even pick a fave.

Holly said...

Okay, I left a post before - but it never showed up. I LOVE em all, but you already knew that. You must've had a great assistant - ha - totally joking with ya! Miss you! Are you coming to see me?

Elissa said...

OMG!! I cant believe how much she has grown and how much she looks like you! Especially pic #2. Its like you in highschool again except without all the bang action. I also cant believe you came into town and didnt even tell me. How sad:(

Nina said...

Dana said...

of course she is your sister--she looks so much like you!!! love the one where she is sticking out her tongue(your conversion is awesome) and the one where she is sitting in the tree...

Sydney said...

Where are you from that there's green grass and leaves in trees?? The picture of her standing, holding her guitar looks just like your daughter "H" in her 2nd grade choir concert photo- their heads are just slanted opposite directions!

Amanda said...

So awesome. I really love the tongue one and the last one in the tree. They are all beautiful thought. She is very pretty.

Alana said...

Wow! She's gorgeous. She looks just like you. I am very impressed with the photos. The setting is spectacular and the green offsets her blue shirt so well. These will be great for her CD. I too love the one in the tree. I am continued to be amazed at your work!
