We kept it close to home and embraced the bite of the last month of Winter while the fleeting warmth of the sun poured over. We sipped enough hot coffee to keep us comfortable. We stayed in and cozied up on a new sofa. We made some rad photos together. I can't wait to help document Dante + Sarah's wedding in October. Thanks for checking out this post and following along. 2016 has and will be a great year.
5 years into this photography journey and my previous wedding clients are starting to add little ones to their families and I couldn't be more happy to help document it. All of this is still very fresh in my own life and has made photographing these milestones very natural. Part of the immense joy of being a portrait photographer is being invited into others lives. Over time, we leave a collection of images that helps tell a story for themselves and others. Its not being on the front line documenting some major crisis or humanitarian effort or natural disaster. In fact, its a luxury not everyone can afford and yet, for those that make it a priority...much of their life is recorded in a very intentional and creative way. This support, vulnerability, and trust is much of what gets me excited to wake up and work. Its inspiring. I'm grateful. It's a partnership.
Thank you.
I have some availability this Spring before weddings take up most of my life...let's set up a portrait or family session and start or keep adding to the collection of photos you have. You won't regret it.
This was the third session I've had with the McLaurin family. This blows me away for many reasons. I'm overwhelmingly grateful I've been given the privilege of documenting them over and over and over again. Watching their family grow and change has been pretty amazing. My own kids are similar in age, so its been a blast to observe similarities and all out differences. I love how Dean and Sarah just roll with whatever happens and seem to laugh at it all.
Its support like this that makes my heart beat harder in my chest. I never expect clients to continue booking sessions with me because there are SO MANY amazing photographers locally. I think its good to invite different creatives into our lives and let them express what they see. But, I'm obviously extremely thrilled if given another opportunity to create and document the same family. I think the photos get more personal and real because guards drop and my presence becomes part of the norm.
Lets start something together. Invite me into your home this Winter and lets see what happens. I'm willing to bet your family and home has a lot more to offer than you think. Let's create something together you will have the rest of your life. It's really simple.
