Susan and I

knew each other

in high school.

she now has a

gorgeous,

God-fearing family,

and she asked

me

to capture them together

as her son

turns one.

it was quite the

honor.

it is not often,

that they are all together.

it is,

cherished time

when they are.

this trip was special,

maybe the most important ever,

and it needed to be captured.

(40mph wind gusts can’t deter this kind of love…)

I’m still what feels like a million sessions behind on blogging – and I promise to get caught up this weekend, but I couldn’t wait another minute to post some images from this morning’s session.

I meet Kenzie when she wasn’t even two weeks old, and each year I feel so lucky to be able to capture family images for them. This year when mom and I started talking about the session we had something entirely different planned, then she posted a picture of a dress on FB she was buying for an upcoming formal function they are attending, and the wheels started turning. Instantly I went to their gorgeous gown in a field filled with tall grass and pretty light…and well mom was totally on board. I seriously love clients who trust me completely to style a shoot, I promise you won’t be disappointed! Case and point…

I haven’t posted in almost two weeks!! I’ve been quite busy since returning from maternity leave, and I have a lot to blog, but it’s late so just a quick post for now.  There are plenty more posts and images coming soon, not to mention four more sessions this week!

Tonight I had some holiday (yes, that’s right, I said holiday) mini sessions.  Some pretty cool families came out to see me.   Just wanted to share a few from my early session – it was approximately a million degrees with the humidity, and this sweet family didn’t complain once – note the long sleeves and jeans!  I hope your evening at Six Flags was fun, thanks for coming out!

I had the opportunity to do a very special family session yesterday.  Three daughters wanted pictures of the entire family (13 amazing people ).  Doesn’t seem too out of the ordinary, but their mom, the matriach, has recently been diagnosed with cancer…the details aren’t important, but what I am about ask is…

…please take some time today, this week, and in the months to come, to pray for this family, for grandma’s strength during her treatment, and that GOD will take special care her.  Thirty minutes yesterday was enough for me to learn that she is extraordinary, and that her family is equally special…
