So if I start this post with: “I adore this family”, do you think it is too much? Well, I do! We have been friends for over 15 years and have enjoyed all the ups and downs of life together. I could not be prouder to call them friends, but they are more than that. They are family. We are not in contact everyday but when we are the conversation starts where we left off. I would move heaven and earth to help them, as they have done for us many times over. Like I said, I adore this family.
Their only request for the portrait session was to include water, so by the river was the perfect location. We met early, at just after sunrise. They are early birds, and it was the best time to capture them.

I am happy to share these images with you. Enjoy!

You would think that I would notice the changes. You growing taller, and in my opinion, more beautiful. With all the images that I capture, you would think that I would notice the smallest change. I didn’t. I didnt see the changes until I saw you sitting there painting your nails, and playing with make-up. Then, and only then, did I see your longer and leaner legs. Your hair that shines and almost reaches down your back. You look older than your years and maybe I didnt want to see those changes. I didnt want to see you blossoming. This always takes me by surprise. In the busyness of life, I forget that you are growing. I forget that you change each and every day. And while part of me wants to hit pause, I know it is impossible. So, I will pay more attention during these ordinary moments. I will enjoy these changes because the beauty that shines from you, from the inside, well that is something that I want to cherish.
