Lesa

Lesa contacted me for portraits of just herself, which I love hearing those words coming from wives & mothers! Having good pictures of yourself really IS important!! Yesterday I found a story of a mother & father who had NEVER had their portrait together in the 30+ years since their wedding. The son, who is a photographer, insisted on taking some shots of them together because his mom was sick. She passed away a few months after the portraits were taken. DON'T WAIT!! I know I've said this before, but take pictures every year! Of yourself, of you & your spouse, of your kids, and of your family. Don't wait.

Anyway, back to Lesa. Lesa is smiles all the time. She always has a positive outlook on things. She is one of the most thankful people I know. She is a native of Vietnam, and she is forever expressing her gratitude for the blessings of living in the US, for the freedoms she enjoys here, for all the good things in her life (oh, if only all Americans felt this way...) I tried to get here to do some serious, pensive shots, but she had a had time not smiling. So here is Lesa.....
