Generation Photos

 One of my favorite things to see when going through photos is generation photos. It is special thing to be able to capture more than three generations in a photo due to age differences of grandparents to kids and lifespans. Since Grandma Davis lived to be 105 years old the opportunity was ripe to get these generational photos. To be able to get 5 generations is a great feat, My wife was able to get one of her Grandparents due to her Great Great Grandmother living to be around 100. Here is a 4 generation photo that we have of our family that includes Josie Davis, Ellen Keitel, Nina Henthorne, and Nina Reaves in that order. If you have any generational photos would love to see them. you can email them to me if you can't leave them in the comments and I will update the post.
