Two sisters, side by side, growing through the same discipline in their own distinct ways-
strength shaped in shared space, focused grit, and the bond that sharpens them both.
Picture it if you can:
Two young girls intensely excited about their shared love of a new endeavor. Jiu-Jitsu!
At times, the shoot was like herding cats- excitement about how they're progressing, demonstrating their technique and fighting for top billing!
Here I am on a cold, damp spring day in Central Maine. I'm setting up an octabox and two strip boxes and attempting to perfect the lighting scheme while trying to monitor wind-blown modifiers (nice catch, Rosie!) and kneeling in a soggy field while trying to get
"THE SHOT!"
Was it worth it?
Absolutely!
The girls happen to be my granddaughters, and when I look back on these years from now (or even tomorrow!) it will be with pride over their accomplishments and joy over sharing that special slice of time with them.
