The story: Called to a local farm to hang out with a mom who's basically managing a small "hobby farm" on her own (with the help of her two girls). Did a portrait, then hung out for a bit and snapped some candids.
Why I like this one: It reminds me of one of my favorite photographers ... Cathy Avalone. She was the chief photographer when I worked as a sports editor in Connecticut. She always focuses on faces and emotion, and loves a dutched camera with some leading lines. There's a really cool narrative here with the lively younger sister, the older sister giving her a look, and the whole setting. And it was all completely unstaged ... I was just talking with the mother while the girls were bouncing around. I saw this and fired.
