Hunter Konstan

The second east coast portrait session was with the Konstan family. Christine and I go even farther back, all the way to 1st grade! We played barbie dolls together in grade school, passed notes in the hall in middle school, and molded clay together in art class at Mercy High. We hadn't seen each other since graduating in 1990. It was really good to meet her husband, daughter, and three gorgeous dogs: Jessie, Fergus, and Reggie. The backdrop for their session was their lovely home in Essex. Sadie Blue LOVED the camera and the camera reciprocated the affection. My favorite moment was after the last shot, Sadie asked to climb on her mom's back. After we snapped a few frames and headed into the house, she said, "Mom, I love you," in the most satisfied voice I've ever heard. I hope we don't wait another 20 years before we meet up again. We hardly broke the ice. Maybe next time we'll see each other west side?
