Portrait #4 by Mark Shaw.
Hyannis Port, 1959
In the late 1950's and early 1960's Mark Shaw worked extensively as the "unoffical" family photographer to Jackie and John F. Kennedy. The results of these stunning shoots graced the covers of innumerable magazines and were the subject of two lauded books. Captured here by Shaw in in 1959 is a portrait of Jackie and JFK taken in Hyannis Port. These images were created for a photo essay for LIFE magazine and led to Mark's close relationship with both JFK and Jackie.

Oh, wow, wasn't she just stunning?!? Love that photo!
Heart-stopping! WOW!
I just finished reading a biography of Jack and his best friend, Lem Billings. It was so interesting. Also just finished one about Jack's sister Kathleen (Kick).
the color palette alone, in this photo is so inspirational. I could build a whole room around it!
Absolutely striking. And I love her pink dress!
What a classy woman! She looks fabulous in pink! Tracey xx

No one looked at the camera with more serenity than Jacqueline.
