here is the whitney clan! my favorite kids portrait photographer, tara whitney, emailed and asked about shooting her family!! lucky me, look how cute these guys are...and what style! i feel very lucky to have met these guys and all the kids are very sweet...and a bit crazy!! which i like.

Some highlights were playing kenna's character game, anna's super outgoing nature, and watching nate and drew surf for the first time, pretty cool!

jay reilly says: hi dori - a hasselblad h3d should do the trick ;-) just kidding, maybe the entry level nikon or canon digital slr. (09.23.08 @ 10:11 AM)

dori says: Hi, just stumbled upon your site and love what I see. I am interested in getting a camera. I am not a professional anything, just want to shoot and keep moments of my life and loved ones. Don't want to invest a whole heck of alot and don't want too fancy-shmancy with too many whistles and bells. I am a grandma that doesn't like too technical and complicated, but want a pretty picture in the end. Any suggestions on what camera would fit the bill will be deeply appreciated. thanks for your time. peace dori (09.23.08 @ 09:11 AM)
