My last session of the year was spent with a sweet new family of three.
In this month of focusing on what we are thankful for, I have to add my thanks to all the families that have trusted me with their family photography this year.
I’m grateful for each of you, and that I’ve been lucky enough to have this job for another year. Every time your babies spit-up, pee, poop, or fuss; every time your pets lovingly accost me, or threaten to use my bag as a scratching post; every time you dads endure me for longer than the 15 minutes your wives promised it would take; every time you moms call/email/text me for an opinion on an outfit, or to break the news to me that one of your kids just got a black eye; every time you make yourselves vulnerable to my eye by being in front of my camera, I feel incredibly lucky that I get to do what I do.
As crazy as that may sound, it is undeniably true. Many a parent has wiped their brow at the end of a session and said to me, “I don’t know how you do this.” I always laugh because I am thinking, “I don’t know how I got this lucky.”
Thank you for being yourselves and trusting that the result will be an honest and beautiful reflection of your families. I consider it a privilege.
How could I not feel lucky to be invited in to witness moments like this?
Happy Thanksgiving to all! Please check back here or on Facebook for a special offer next week!
