Cutie P. Tooties
I know, it’s an overused term. But if ever it fit, here is the place!
I photographed the Hackett family for their Christmas card this year. What a wonderful family! Linda is my good friend, Nancy’s twin sister! I always knew Nancy had a twin sister, but never had given it much thought. This year, Linda saw some work I had done for Nancy, and wanted me to do the same for her family! What luck for me. Have you ever had a friend you felt so incredibly lucky to have? Well, just imagine finding out that there are two of them! No, I know twins are never exactly the same, but Nancy and Linda share many of the same wonderful qualities! Like I said, what luck!
It was a lovely, chilly day for portraits. The Hacketts were so much fun! It was an effortless sitting, and I left their home with a warm feeling and a smile on my face!
So, tell me if you agree…Cutie P. Tooties?

Susan, some of these I haven’t seen before and they are just wonderful. Thank you for your kind words and your God-given talent for capturing the soul of a person. Jill is my silly one and Erin is my sophisticated one. And now everyone, who doesn’t even know them can see that. When they are up against the garage looking “disgusted”, I know Erin was thinking of me. Thank you again! Love, Linda

What a surprise! We are cousins in San Diego and didn’t know about this blog. Their Christmas card is wonderful and I looked up the website to find out more and viola! My cousins are there in living color. Gorgeous!
I love the card and gave Linda credit for it (not knowing) since they always send such unique cards. Now I know where the credit belongs………….very creative!
