It is such a blessing to be able to capture chapters of people’s lives for them. It is even more of a blessing when one of those people is a dear, dear friend as well.
Charlotte was born to Emily & Michael at the end of April. When she was 8 days old, I went over to their house – in the midst of all the sw*ne flu hype, house sessions made even more sense, but I always like to photograph newborns at home so that it is easier on mom & dad. That way we can be comfy, take our time, and just enjoy the whole process. If they need to stop to nurse or whatever, it is easy.
I posted a lot more photos over on my other blog but I wanted to share these special ones here because they aren’t just about Charlotte. They are about Emily too, and the bond they will always share.
It was a good day, and I am very humbly blessed to have been a part of this time in their lives. Thank you, Emily & Michael, and especially Charlotte for being a fabulous model!
I think the one below is my favorite from the day. Something about how safe & secure Charlotte looks there. Blissfully at peace.
My friend Laura has recently challenged herself to blog daily, so I decided to join her on it – my challenge for the month of June is to blog once a day. Now that it is June 1st, I’m trying to work out if it will be once a day at the wedding & boudoir photography blog, or once a day at WhollyMatrimony! and here as well.
Hmmm…
I used to write 4-5 blog posts a day, so I think I could do it. Matter of fact, the photo blog posts are the most time consuming, because I have to choose photos to put up on the site.
Today was Kelly’s first full time day of self-employment, so we agreed while at the Fast Track Photographer workshop that we would celebrate today – we went for brunch with Brittany and Kelly’s sister Kristan, and then afterwards we dropped Kristan off at home and went to Tomball to get a pedicure. We ended up making a trip through Hobby Lobby as well, since it was right there and I needed some crafty things for my new marketing materials I’m creating.
Of course, playing part of the day away was great — but now I’m going to be editing things tonight! And writing blog posts too, it seems. What did I get myself into?
Keep me in line by inspiring me with comments! Who knows, maybe this will be the kick in the pants that BigPinkCookie needs to come back to life? That would be excellent!
