These photos were taken on one of the first few days after my parents' arrival. I offered my Mom to try on a few of my dresses and skirts. She zeroed in on this one - you can tell that she feels good wearing it, even though she ideally would need at least one size smaller.
Then I thought "Justin has a few sweaters which are too snug for him", and he barely even wore them, so I offered my Dad to try them on too.
Then I got all inspired and made them pose for the camera, and I really loved the result of our improvised lighthearted photo session.
Then it made me think about one similar little photo session 9 years back, when my parents first came to visit me in America. I remember convincing Mom to have a little makeup on (she rarely does it), and we all had such a great fun - them modeling their new clothes, and me taking photos of the handsome and happy couple.
So here you have it - two photo sessions, 9 years apart, good times, fun memories and a little reminder that we all like to look and feel good, especially when someone takes pictures of us with a loving eye.

ReplyDeleteHi Natalia,
ReplyDeleteGlad to be back, i'm up to it now -
Cute to have your dear parents trying your clothes,
Did it take a lot persuading...my mother would not be on my blog for ages, but gave in, i had the right arguments i guess.
See you soon
