Sometimes I get hired to get some good shots of a family to update their walls and family albums. Sometimes they just want that one killer shot for a Christmas card. There are times they want to capture a milestone like a first birthday or celebrate the simple act of sitting up alone. Sometimes they hire me to capture their everyday lives so in twenty years they can look back and truly remember all of those tiny moments that happen each day. Those are good sessions!
THEN there are the times when I am invited in to capture a moment in their family history that will forever change who they are. Like a wedding or a birth. OR what I got to do yesterday. When I stood among so much palpable love I just couldn’t believe that God had blessed me with this as my job. It was all kinds of awesome.
Amy and Matt welcomed their third child, Lily, home yesterday as they stepped off a plane and walked into the arms of their family and friends. Their story is theirs to share so I’ll just let the images tell this small part of Lily’s much bigger story!
Congratulations you guys! I couldn’t be happier for you all!
I couldn’t be HAPPIER for this sweet family. Did you know that Amy use to babysit my kids when they were babies?! She was my saving grace once a week….. 🙂 I always knew she would be a FABULOUS momma!
These are really amazing. You don’t need words when the pictures speak for themselves 🙂
With no commentary attached to the pictures, I have tears in my eyes as I reach the end of them. The one of Lily touching fingertips to her (brother?) is priceless. The immediate acceptance and bond between children is priceless and this photo captured that perfectly. Good job Jodie.
these are so beautiful and amazing! I love them all, what a treasure for this family!
How beautiful! Thanks for letting us in on this intimate moment of reunion!
