I know I say it every time I post a session from one of my regular clients, but I am so unbelievably honored to be a part of your lives and follow your journeys. It just doesn’t seem that long ago (and wasn’t really) that I was taking Sam’s maternity photos when she was carrying adorable little Silas. After that came his newborn session, family photos and now another maternity session as they anticipate the arrival of his little sister. I can hardly wait to meet her and have no doubt she will be just as beautiful as the family she is being born into.

I have been blessed with being VERY busy with sessions the past couple of months and many of them have been repeat clients which got me thinking about just how awesome this job is and how lucky I am. Whether we became “friends” because I see your family every few months or once a year for photos, or we were friends first and I am lucky enough to capture your milestones, it truly is an amazing honor to be included in your lives. Especially true for this session with my friend Robyn. As she pointed out recently, a few years ago we were doing a session with her and her son shortly after she became a single mother. Then, after finding her soul mate it was time for engagement photos followed by a BEAUTIFUL wedding! This week I was lucky enough to be there as her family found out whether they would be adding a boy or girl to the mix. We wanted to do something a little different than the typical pink or blue balloons for her reveal and Robyn had the great idea to use Jones Soda which was also used in with her and her son in that very first session years ago. Congratulations my friend. I can’t wait to meet baby Hoyt!

And the blast from the past…

Sometimes my clients spoil me. After this session I now expect all future clients to provide a beautiful location like this for me. Ok, just kidding, but it would be nice. How cute are they? I can’t wait to meet the new little J in the family.
