With new life comes new perspectives

I have always found it interesting those that choose to have that over the top fancy photography session done, I have often wondered how many of those sessions actually lead to the client really building a great relationship on a "family like level" with their photographer? As a photographer I suppose I feel that this is where the line is drawn between a passion/love for the business and results versus the results driven business ( making money $$$). Now don't get me wrong, Yes, I want to make money for something I am passionate about that I freelance in a business fashion but I also need to be able to match your vision. I took in some personal perspective on this topic after looking back over type of photography I was nervous to start shooting - Newborns.
There is so much that goes into newborn photography that most wouldn't think of such as ; the time schedule for mom & baby, the outfits, the positions, feeding time, temperature of the space/room, equipment, emotional state ( of the baby), Props for the baby to be positioned in, lighting and well the list goes on but I am sure you get it. Taking in to account the newborn sessions I have done and some sessions that I have seen others post images from their lavish sessions with their type of photographer. But the client/ photographer relationship is what I have always appreciated the most about this passion I chase after and make a reality. However the realization that my clients really are where my story begins is the best part, I cannot express how much I appreciate that and the opportunity that they provide for growth in my work but also in their personal lives....
Thankfully, I have had the opportunity to work with some of the greatest creations to have graced this earth and I could not be more thankful that I still get to watch these kids grow. Its one thing to just be a photographer, but another to feel like you really are apart of something much larger than freeze framing a moment in time.

Kenzi Victoria
Kenzi has got to be the most beautiful soul inside the tiniest of bodies and boy does she let everyone know it! Kenzi was such an easy baby to photograph when she was small and quite a handful when she came back for her first birthday session! She now is a Big Sister to one handsome fella - Kadyn!

Kadyn David
Kadyn has been a much awaited addition to the White family, this little guy keeps his stud smug look on at all times. It was hard to catch a smile, but he sure was alert which always makes for a great newborn session.

Sister Kenzi just had to make sure she share the spot light during his session too but when you have a household full of that much cuteness its a must when it comes to sharing.

  Now we cannot forget the French Family!

Oh where to start with Jimmy and April - these two are the best couple as a husband and wife team - not mention killing it in the parenting department! This wonderful couple have two of the sweetest and wonderful children that god has blessed them - Oliver and Isabelle are proof that love really is a beautiful thing.

First came handsome Oliver this guy sure did make his mother glow during  the maternity shoot! Oliver has since grown to become a happy and helpful Big Brother to his beautiful sister Isabelle.. His job now-a-days is looking too cute, keeping mom busy and protecting his little sister.

Then came the sweetest of them all little Isabelle Mia! Such a precious little being making her way into the beautiful family home life, of the French`s. It's a gift to know my clients on a personal level, especially those who I get to experience and witness the growth of each of their personal lives. Watching some clients who go from dating, to engaged, then down the aisle to say " I do", to oh my goodness a bundle of joy is on the way - no just kidding now there are two! Its the greatest to experience it first hand but also joyful I almost feel like each become family over time. I get to capture those moments that mean the most and remind us all why each day is a gift and a blessing.

Alright-Alright, enough of the mushy talk - the real message here is that I LOVE my clients and the experiences that I have been able to gain as a photographer to help myself to grow are just results of the same growth I get to witness with these wonderful long term clients.
