Family. It’s not something you choose but it is something that you have. Whether they are blood relatives or friends, everyone can find a sense of family in their lives. I have included this section to enrich my project somewhat and to share my beautiful family with the world. I believe these photos of my family members can express more about who we are and what family means to us.
