When I was in grade 1 and my oldest sister Krista was in grade 6, the grade 6 class put on a Haunted House for Halloween. I remember how excited we were as our class lined up to go through, finally our turn! The room was dark, and there were tunnels to crawl through, slimy peeled grapes to put your hands in, and ghosts wondering around the room. I clearly remember the sounds as a tape of eery music played as I crawled my way through the tunnels made of cardboard boxes. Somewhere in the middle of my tour something jumped out at me in the darkness, just a friendly grade 6 student with face paint I'm sure, but it scared my little 6 year old self right out of my socks! I cried, and cried, and cried! My sister's classmates rushed to find her and she came running, ready to console me and wipe away my tears.
Growing up my older sisters were like my second and third mother. They were there for every scraped knee and lonely day at recess. They braided my hair and taught me silly dances, and how to play hopscotch. My younger sister was my best friend and my partner in crime. All three of them of course also helped me develop a thicker skin, as they taunted and teased. I'm still the most sensitive one, but imagine how bad I would be had I had no one to teach me to take it!
That said, when Holly contacted me about doing a sister shoot, I was all over it! I know first hand how special the bond between sisters is, and the opportunity to capture this for them was not one I was going to pass up! These girls had fun written all over them. When I suggested a theme they were more than excited to think something up. I love that they took an idea and ran with it, right down to the last detail.
Holly and Heidi are lucky to have each other. Being born with a built in best friend is such a special gift!
Enjoy the photos ladies!!
