For now, a glowy preview for a couple that makes me feel blessed to be a photographer…

Rochelle’s husband happens to love this image of mine. So she wanted to do something to incorporate the same red chair as a surprise for him. We were very grateful for my amazing husband, who lugged this huge brick of an armchair down the ravine banks for us! Not only did we decide to use the red chair, but also wanted to incorporate a very whimsical feel to the session with some white lanterns. This turned out to be both her and my favorite aspect of the shoot.

Thanks Rochelle for inviting me to shoot this session for you! I had SO much fun and can’t wait for hubby to get his first look at your amazing session!

I shot this next one through some low branches of a tree. I love the way it made the outer edges look like ripples of water!

*Siiiigh* My fav shot…

Kaylyn and Daniel are very dear repeat clients. I first met Kaylyn when she was pregnant with Logan and we became instant friends. Soon after I got to meet baby Logan for the first time for his newborn session and was in loooove. That full head of blond hair left me swooning! And now, a happy family of one, two, three, four….surprise!!! FIVE! I was so happy when Kaylyn got a hold of me to tell me she was pregnant with beautiful baby #3! And even more overjoyed that she choose me to capture such a special time in their lives together.

Not only is it a special moment in their lives because of the addition of their third baby, but also because Daniel serves in the marines and only weeks after this session will be starting a seven month tour including Guam, Afghanistan and Hawaii among many other places. I think if I had to choose the most touching (and heart tugging) session I’ve ever done, it would be this one. This family has such an incredible amount of love and affection for one another. That, coupled with the fact that Daniel was merely weeks away from deployment, left me with a tiny lump in my throat more than once watching him cuddle his little loves.

I sincerely hope that Kaylyn, Daniel, Bennett and Logan will cherish these images of their beautiful family together and always remember that day for exactly what it was…a time of togetherness. Hope. Love. Happiness. Things that even miles can’t take from them.
