I went to college with these girl’s parents (we won’t mention how long ago!) and it was so much fun to photograph them recently in front of their great-grandfathers barn. I’m not sure I’d want to live in rural Pennsylvania, but the old barns do make beautiful colored and textured backdrops. And this was even more special with the family history.
The sisters and their parents are missionaries in the Philippines and were home this summer on furlough. If you’ve been following my blog for a long time you may remember my trip to the Philippines to visit them about 3 1/2 years ago. It was great to catch up with good friends!
Catherine and Madeline are twins and turned 11 this month – here’s Catherine:

There’s a lot of personality in that 7-going-on-16 little body!
