from the second i met rebecca at starbuck’s to plan their session i was excited about it. she gushed about how cute her husband is & how much she adores him…so adorable. from the second matt opened the door to let me in & started talking about rebecca i knew immediately that he felt the same way she did….as a photographer, how could you not be ecstatic to be able to photograph that kind of love & connection? you two are PRECIOUS together, beautiful inside & out & i couldn’t be happier for you. thank you for welcoming my ideas, welcoming me into your home & contributing to the planning process along the way so much. i feel very lucky to have been your photographer for this exciting time in your life! i am joining in on the anticipation & excitement in waiting to hear if you have a boy or girl! congrats you guys! love yall!.jpg)
always remember your brother LOVES YOU. SO MUCH. he is your #1 fan & you are his, too. HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM ALL THREE OF US! we love you.
i love taking pictures. i love taking pictures of my kids & family. i even attempt selfies with my kids alot but i have never done an entire session as the photographer, mom AND subject! i went into this one frazzled from the start because the location we were headed to ended up being closed & we had to make a last minute decision to go somewhere i’d never even been before. i was stressed because garrett was in a terrible mood & nothing seemed to go right. i forgot certain things at home & as i was trying to set up the tripod to take group shots i thought we were losing light. i was trying hard to separate from worrying about my mom role because i just wanted to take good pictures of my family, but it was hard because garrett was not listening! i can’t wait for my next chance to attempt a session with these people who i adore, love & care for more than the whole world…i enjoy my time with them SO much & was so happy to have the opportunity to do this because it meant we could all be together. next time i won’t worry about the outcome so much or about being a mom (i’ll let john handle the kids!) & it will be more fun
now after all those sessions we’ve had together (maternity, nb, six month, one year) we are great friends! our families have met & our babies are practically dating (haha jk). we were invited to celebrate sophia’s birthday party with their other family members & close friends. they aren’t clients…they’re friends & i like it that way.
