To say that I love this session is such an understatement. My heart is heading back to my roots I think. Lifestyle photography is so a part of me. It’s ingrained. It’s what I shoot every day at my own home, of my own family. They are the photos I fill my walls with and create albums with that my kids look at everyday. They are the tiny moments captured that bring me to tears because just a few years past and it’s hard to remember how small they once were. They are the moments I’ll treasure in 20 years as well. When people say they would run into their burning house to save their photographs I bet it’s the albums they grab and not the perfect canvas hanging over the fireplace. Those perfect family portraits have a place in my heart too. They are great to have and something to be proud of. But these private moments? The ones no one really sees except your own family? They’re priceless. To be invited into another family’s world is like being handed this incredible treasure. And my prayer is that I just do it justice.
I LOVE this, so sweet. I totally want to do this for Sonya’s 5th birthday. Love that you are getting back to your roots, but you are even better than before.
wow you gave me some great ideas for next weekend for an expecting mom with 5 kids already. You are an inspiration.
This is my absolute favorite type of photography – catching those little every day moments and all the little details in the comfort of your own home. I’m SO excited that you’re doing lifestyle photo shoots and I’m definitely going to sign up for one (or more) as soon as baby Mac gets here in May.
ON my way to shoot a lifestyle session this morning. Looking at yours for inspiration. Man, why do you always set the bar so damn high? 😉
