Welcome Home, Daddy

I love my returning clients. Of course I love all my clients, but when you come BACK? It means the world to me! Not only does it tell me that you love and appreciate my photography and all the work I put into it, but it shows me that you trust me enough to share your family's memories with me, and put the preservation of those precious memories in my hands.

Mari & her daughter, Lilly (LOVE that name!) came to see me for a Mini Session last October, right before her first birthday. It was Lilly's first photo session, and she wasn't too sure about me and my camera; but with help from her mom, and a TON of silly faces from me, we got some adorable shots to send to her daddy, who was currently deployed with the Navy. I was overjoyed when Mari told me she wanted me to do their family pictures when her husband returned, so in mid-January we braved the cold, skipped the Seahawks game that was playing (yeah...I'm behind on blogging), and captured some amazing memories for this sweet family!

Being a military wife myself, I have a huge respect for other military families, and that sacrifice that they make. But I also have a lot of respect just watching this man interact with his family- the love he has for his wife and daughter is just so apparently, you can instantly pick up that they are his whole world.

This little girl loves her mommy, but it was so touching to see her interact with her daddy that she is still just getting to know. Kids are smart, they know who loves them, even if they don't understand just how important that person will be in their life. I can't wait to watch this family grow together, whether they add another child or simply grow older and closer together- growth is a beautiful thing!

I know that you all will join me in wishing this family the happiest memories in years to come!
