I just finished up my session with Bethany and Sam. It was seriously like hanging out with old friends. We did their session at the baseball field that they spend soooo many hours each week at. It was fun. The kids ran around. I chased them. Her new little one, cried. And cried some more. Then I made him laugh with my secret (weapon) noise. Of course it worked. It always does. It is pretty awesome. By the way, I would love to share it with you now but you HAVE to book a session with me to hear it. Sorry. That is the rule. Anyways, it just made me think of how many times I have acted like a crazy fool, made silly noises and seriously just laughed my head off watching all these kids smile. It has been years. These past 5 years have gone by so fast. I can't even believe I was taking pictures of this sweet litter girl wearing a beautiful dress and cleats when 4 years ago she was a toddler playing in a fountain. That picture I took of her was my FAVORITE for a long time. It was the one picture where I thought everything was perfect and I just happened to be there to press the button. Seriously. I am not sure I did much to make it so cute. I can remember looking at it over and over. I felt so happy to know that I captured such a sweet moment with her. It was a great day.
But here I was 4 years later. It was an even better day. The sun was setting. These crazy kids where acting like monkeys. I was making my funny sound. Everyone was laughing. Sigh. I love what I do. I seriously love it. I love when they cry. I love when they throw a fit. I love when cry laugh too. I just love PEOPLE. I love knowing I was there to snap that memory. It seriously can never get old. I knew my time with Beth was wrapping up and it sorta made me sad. Not because I will never see them again. Just sad that that moment was over. Our time was locked up in my Nikon. I wanted to keep talking. Keep smiling. Keep making my funny noise, but it was time to go. But that is okay I suppose. I have a new favorite picture of that little girl. <3
My first picture in 2011 and then her in 2015.
