I haven't posted in a long, long while. As you may or may not know, I have spent the last 2 years healing from Adrenal Fatigue. I really had to take some things off my plate, and my photography blog was one of the things I allowed myself to let go of. However, I am now feeling up to getting back to it, YAY! I might go back in time and "back-post" from all the great shoots I have had the honor of doing during this time, or maybe not, we will see. But when I received this email from a cllient of a newborn shoot I did in July, I just knew I wanted to share it with you.
Cari Ellen, it has been such a positive and wonderfully heartfelt experience working with you. To us, it extends so far beyond you being the photographer and us being the clients. You've been part of this intimate little world my husband and I have shared as we begin our family together. I don't know if words can ever fully convey how much that means to us and how you will always have a special place in our hearts for being a witness to these precious moments, and for capturing these moments that we will cherish forever. It means the world to us.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
With love and gratitude...
I can still cry, reading it again for the hundredth time. As a photographer, my job is to provide a good experience and get people great photos. But my soul yearning is to deeply connect with others. I really love working with my clients, who almost always are already friends or become friends. Receiving this touching email was confirmation for me that I am truly doing my soul work while I am out there being a photographer. It feels sooooo good, and I feel so lucky. And now... on to the images of this very special little newborn!
I love this image below because it incorporates special pre-engagement photos of the couple who have now just become parents...
... and this is the baby's grandfather's baby blanket!
This is a pose that baby often does, dubbed the "starfish". :) SO glad she did it for me so I could capture it!
This image is super special because I took the EXACT shot of mom & dad when baby was still in her belly.
