It’s the time of year when I really try to focus on gratitude more, and this session with this family had me really feeling it!! It’s not lost on me that my job is one that allows me the unique opportunity to be a part of so many highlights in people’s lives.
Let’s rewind a bit! I met Brandon years ago through my husband, Reggie, and their mutual love of cars, particularly BMWs. He soon met a very special someone, Catherine, and he surprised her with a proposal on the beach. She said yes! Wedding plans began, and they asked me to photograph their big day, starting with engagement portraits. This fall they celebrated their 7th anniversary! Happy Anniversary!!!
And the cherry on top for me? I’d have to say it’s seeing my couples become parents and growing a family! It has been such a treat to have photographed their handsome son, Graham, since he was a newborn! He’s now 5 years old, and I couldn’t adore him more! He is sweet, funny, ready to play, and, he loves having fun with his two most favorite people on the planet! Catherine, Brandon, and Graham, you guys are simply the best! The way the three of you light up when you’re together made my job a total blast! Yes, we had perfect weather on this fall afternoon, however, what made my day was how you guys love each other, the way you enjoyed each moment. As I drove home that evening, I could not help but think how unbelievably lucky I am to do what I do! I felt rejuvenated, my creativity felt unlocked, and I was reminded that I am fulfilling my purpose. And for all of this, I am so so grateful! Hugs to you guys, can’t wait to see you again!!!
The pictures are FABULOUS! What an ADORABLE family …. just beaming with HAPPINESS & Graham seems to enjoy all the picture-taking. 🙂
