The thing she cherishes most is literally tattooed on her wrist...family. They are her heart and soul and she is fiercely devoted to them. When she told me that she wanted me to photograph her kids because (a) they would be in one of the happiest places on earth for them (Disney) and (b) because she wanted to see how I "saw" her children - I admittedly felt a little pressure. :-) I agreed to the job only if she and her husband would also take part. You see, I was on a mission to make sure that my friend Jane would be in front of the camera this time (she is also a photographer).
Jane and her family - oh man - where do I begin? She and Eric have such amazing chemistry and a wonderful partnership. I believe that is the foundation of their family dynamic. They are both active people pursuing their individual dreams while mindfully parenting. The love and security they provide are evident in the confidence and expression in both of their children. I mean, come on, that's HUGE.
And people, the Ammon family knows how to enjoy life...
Please take the time to head over to her website by clicking here and check out her work and her story. I think if you do, you'll get a glimpse at why I'm so happy and privileged to call this amazing woman my friend.

I love that when I see a picture of Jane, I can *actually hear* her laughing! Lisa, you captured a beautiful woman, inside and out, at the heart of her joy. Love this.
ReplyDeleteYou, woman, you fill my heart. My Christmas cards are going to be out of this world this year! :) We all love you so....
