See all of my portraits here. Family. The real ones. The people that are there forever and ever, no questions asked, of no choice of your own. Families are a fascinating phenomenon. Including my own. They have shaped, molded, pushed and chipped me. From the whole to the individual, each family member adds unique value to the other. From my sister, I have learned to be strong and steadfast in my opinions. From my grandmother, I have learned that care, attention and time are the greatest resources we have to bless others. From my mother, I have gained creativity, laughter, perseverance and resilience. From my father, I have learned the value of hard work and the beauty of laboring with your hands. Family is hard, yet Family is who we are.14/52 Self Portraits: Family
