Baby S is on her way!

September 29, 2014

Little baby S will be here so so soon! Her mama and daddy are very anxious to meet her in just 2 weeks. I love the way their maternity pictures turned out. Congratulations Jaysha and Christian! I can’t wait to meet your little girl!

I`m speaking at MomCo this morning for the first time, and I`ll be honest - I`m a little nervous.

The topic is fostering adult friendships, which feels both very important and very personal to me. Because I was part of this group during a season of my life when I really needed it. The fellowship I found there meant more than I can put into words.

Adult friendship is one of those things that doesn`t get talked about enough. It takes more intention than it did when we were younger. It doesn`t just happen. And when you find it, it holds you in ways you didn`t expect.

I`m excited to dive into that conversation with a room full of women who already get it.

I recently read about the day John Lennon and Paul McCartney met.

John was performing at a church function with his high school band. Paul happened to be in the audience. A mutual friend introduced them afterward, and the rest is history.

What gets me is that there`s a photo of it. John`s classmate had just gotten a camera for his birthday and snapped one during the performance. Nobody in that room knew what they were watching. It was just an ordinary afternoon.

That photo turned out to be a diamond in the rough.

I think about that a lot in my work. The sessions I remember most aren`t always the milestone ones. Sometimes it`s an in-between moment - a Tuesday afternoon, a candid laugh, a kid doing something totally unremarkable - that ends up being the one a family treasures most.

You don`t always know which moments will matter until later. But if you keep capturing them, you`ll have a record when you do.

Do you have a photo like that? One that didn`t seem like anything at the time but turned out to mean a lot? I`d genuinely love to hear about it.

Santa sessions are open, and I only have 39 slots.

That sounds like a lot until you realize how fast this time of year moves. Before you know it, it`s mid-November and you`re refreshing a waitlist.

These sessions are one of my favorites to shoot every year. There`s something about the combination of little kids, genuine excitement, and the holiday energy in the room that makes for images families keep for a really long time.

If you`ve been thinking about it, now is the time to actually do it.

Grab your spot while they`re there.

Something I want you to sit with for a second:

The photos from your fall session are going to be on your walls this winter. They`re going to be on holiday cards that go out to people you love. They`re going to be framed, printed, passed down.

Years from now, your kids are going to look at those images and see themselves at this exact age, in this exact season of life.

You won`t remember how uncertain you felt picking outfits. You won`t remember the logistics. You`ll just be grateful you have them.

That`s why I do this work. And it`s why I always tell the families I photograph: you have so much joy ahead of you. Let`s make sure you have the photos to prove it.
