bittersweet

I spent this morning with sweet baby girl. She’s a baby planner and I’ve photographed Audrey every few months since she was in her momma’s belly. Driving to her last session on my calendar was a bit bittersweet. What will I do without my sweet baby girl fix every few months? From her birth day to her birthday, sleepy newborn days, her first pigtails, the pouty lip, sitting up, cuddling, snoozing, laughing, clapping, crawling, standing and birthday cake, so many photos and so many memories. Thanks for an awesome ride sweet baby girl, photographing your first year was an honor.

The first thing that jumped out at me when I met this family is just how incredibily loved their little guy is. The thoughtful attention, the smiles, the hugs and kisses. While I was intending to focus on Ryker and his mom since she’s usually the one behind the camera most of the time, I love that I caught just the edge of dad in these, blowing kisses and sending love to his little guy….

This is the first of 3 sneak peeks going up tonight, and it’s a little late. Colleen and Brett, I hope it was worth the wait, I had a wonderful time with your adorable family!!

the happiest baby i have ever photographed

I’m going to do something tonight I’ve never done before. Usually sweet, thoughtful, emotion filled notes from my clients are kept private. Every now and then I’ll share one with my husband, but that is usually the extent of it. Some are hand written, some are sent via email, some make me cry, some get filed into a happy folder that I go back and read often when I’m feeling tired or burned out, some get printed out and hung above my desk. One from the father-in-law of Alex Laynor is framed and holds it’s place in my heart as one of my most valued possessions. I love these happy notes of excitement, appreciation and ultimate expression of love […]
