She said during our shoot that she would like to have a copy of every single photo I took of her and her family, if possible..."even those where the eyes are closed or are out of focus"... I said I usually deleted them. For Nicole and her mom-in-law Tammy, it didn't matter... Capturing and preserving a moment into eternity is a family goal... They are relentless in collecting and cherishing their family's memories! They understand perfectly that what's left of this wordly presence of ours are merely the thoughts and memories of someone. Unfortunately, you come to that deep understanding only after a serious family loss...like their family had to endure two years ago... Ever since then, it has turned into a mission to fill their home's walls with pictures, and their scrapbook pages with precious moments...
And for me, to be able to provide that for them as best I could was a true blessing!
Tammy called me before Christmas with the request to take photos of her son Kevin's family letting me know that it's going to be a family slash maternity slash three years old ceelbration, as her daughter-in-law Nicole is pregnant with their son Hunter and her granddaughter Addalynn just turned three. I was excited about the idea of the shoot taking place at their home and about the multiple outfit changes a cute three years-old would go through...
We started with the birthday theme complete with balloons and a big ol' number three...
While Addie changed into her second outfit of the day, it was time for Mom and Dad to get lovey dovey and show off the bump. Nicole was induced today and is probably holding baby Hunter in her arms as I type this... I'm so excited for them!
Sometimes, it's tough to be a model...
Avid Pittsburgh Steelers supporters, they then changed into the black and yellow jerseys for a couple shots...
Then, it was time for another change....and another change...one cuter than the other!!
I'll leave you with a favorite from the shoot...
Tammy and Nicole, thank you for reminding me the importance of photos, your story is inspiring! Thanks for making me a part of a special moment in your family's life...
Much love...
