Portraits: Iris MacCarthy

With her, it's always a first meeting. Even so, I'm still greeted with a warm smile every single time. She is Iris MacCarthy, Chris' grandmother. It's a guarantee that I'm laughing whenever I'm around her because she is f-u-n-n-y, funny! She and I become best of friends when I try to help her with her crossword puzzles. But I find it absolutely hilarious when she tells me that I'm wrong :) Then she compliments me on the shoes that I'm wearing or the ring on my finger. In the end, we're BFF's again.

Oh Iris, you are such a wonderful lady. I'm glad I had the chance to take these beautiful portraits of you. Chris and I love you, and I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Gladys,
Thank you for taking these beautiful photos of my mother. I think you did an excellent job of capturing her true spirit--she loves a good glass of wine, she loves being in the garden and nothing makes her happier than a hug from one of her favorite grandsons! We will treasure these photos for a very long time.

Baby,
Thank you for taking these shots of my grandma. They look wonderful! It was nice to watch you interact with her. You have a wonderful ability to connect with someone from behind the camera. These shots mean a lot to my family.
