The days are long, but the years are short.

Let me document your story.

Sometimes during sessions, the kids are at an age where there is no following direction or poses. Sometimes it can feel stressful for families because we. of course, want a nice family picture. .

But these moments are my favorite moments. There was no direction, I just let them walk into the field and be them. I kept saying, “just keep doing what you’re doing. Just be a family.” .

These are the moments to hold onto. Yes, we totally need that family portrait (slide over to see we still got it!) but these connections hold so much. It will be cherished forever to have this little moment captured. This little boy finding pure joy in a wishy (not a weed) and a little girl small enough to flip in her daddy’s arms. These are the moments to hold on to. .

They woke up this day saying, “Today, I’m going to make it the entire way on the monkey bars.” .

They’ve been working on these monkey bars after school every sunny day for a couple weeks.
.

I looked at them and said, “Yes you are and I can’t wait to see it.” .

I brought my camera. It’s not the norm right now for me to bring my camera along like I have in the past, but when I told my kids I believed in them, I meant it and I was going to document it.
.

I watched as they tried a couple times and fell as soon as they tried. .

I still stood there and cheered and took pictures anyway. .

And then he stood there. His demeanor changed. Something in his eyes shifted. Truly. I literally felt his determination. He jumped on, and he moved those hands slowly, steadily and surely along each rung. .

I grabbed him and swung him around nearly in tears. I didn’t care if I was that weird parent. My kid just did the effing monkey bars! .

It’s not just the monkey bars. It’s helping them learn to stay determined and not just to achieve the goal but to enjoy the process. To really appreciate the climb. .

Seconds behind him. She did it, too. Community. Your tribe will motivate you. .

I adore these little people. They are poetic, emotional, fierce little people who teach me so very much.
.

Enjoy the climb. Keep going. And then move onto the next thing with just as much excitement without looking back. I can’t wait to see what they take on next.

Five years ago I pulled up to their home. I was in business for less than a year. I was still learning (when do we ever stop?!) and understanding who I was as a creative and how to take a picture.
.

And then this family (along with so many others) fully trusted me to capture their life. I remember watching them, photographing their daughter’s first birthday milestone only having just celebrated my own daughter’s first birthday. .

We connected and they gushed over the images I delivered. And then they hired me again and again. .

These are not clients. These are friends. I’m so invested in THEM. Their relationship as a family. Seeing and knowing each of their little girls and them knowing me. .

It’s such a gift for me to have this “job.” .

If you’re looking for a photographer to photograph your family, I can do that, but I want to SEE you. I want to know you. I want you to know me. It becomes the most magical relationship. .

Thank you. All of you. Who connect with me. Who know me. Who let me know you. Thank you. .

I met this entire family about 6 years ago. I’ve photographed a baptism, a wedding, countless milestones, newborns and countless family pictures. .

It make my heart full. I get so much from clients like this. To connect with them and watch them grow. To create friendships so far beyond a photo shoot... it means so much and gives me so much. .

And to see this Nonno and Nonna with all of these grand babies. Sessions like this always remind me of what life is about. .

It’s not about working more, or hustling more, or making more money or losing 10 lbs. It’s about family, connections and love. It’s about legacy. .

And what an amazing way to commemorate Mother’s Day than to have a family session with your kids, their spouses and grandkids. 😍
