They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I do believe this, I believe that this is also very applicable to family members as well. I have two siblings that live over 2000 miles away, hell, one lives in another country, So, when you finally do see that person the time you have with them is alot more valuable. You cherish those moments alot more. And that is one reason I am a photographer, I want to bring to people those magical moments when they have those reunions and see people in their lives that they previously have not seen for years. Those people that you have a relationship with but you only speak on the phone or through the internet somehow.
I am sure that many of my fans can recognize the man in these images, as I work with him alot, if you do not remember him, this is Scott, he plays the bass for the River City Kats, I do alot of work for them being I am their official photographer, and yes I am very proud of that. Anyways, most of you do not know that Scott has a daughter, Sarah, she lives in Idaho. And although she is just like her Dad, they had not seen each other in almost 20 years until last month. This reunion has been months in the works and Scott did what ever he had to do to make it happen. We all heard so many wonderful things about Sarah prior to meeting her. I can remember way back when I first met Scott in about 2007 or so and even then he had the most amazing things to say about his daughter. She truly is Her Dads child. When Sarah made it to Florida and we all finally got to meet her, it was amazing to meet someone that had so many similarities to their father whom they haven't seen in 20 years.
Sarah obviously inherited a music gene from her father because the girl can belt a note like no ones business. It is rare to meet a person like Sarah, that is so young but has such an old soul. She actually started playing some music that she liked for her dad and it turned out to be some of the songs on his bands set list. The irony is just amazing I could go on and on about the common things these two share. It was almost as if no time had past and these two had just seen each other the other day. And although it was a sad day to see Sarah go back to Idaho, I know we will be seeing her again soon, and I am totally down for taking a trip to Idaho to see my new friend, I hear it a beautiful state. These images of Scott and Sarah I took a few days after she got here, just because I wanted Scott to have these memories of her visit and their time together. And he just so happen to have a wonderful backyard for photos, and I am so thankful that no one mowed the grass because it was amazing. The overgrown grass and little weed flowers than popped up were beautiful, these are the location features that I search for and he had them right in his backyard.
