I understand the suspense. No matter what kind of session it may be, I know most clients cannot wait to get a peek at the results. I actually must make myself remember that my clients see a session very differently than I do. They might be worried about how their baby or toddler behaved, or how their outfits looked, or if their hair was in the right place. And I don’t have the same sense of anticipation, because I see it all through my lens literally and figuratively, and when a session goes well, I know how the images will look before I even get in the car to leave. So I must remind myself to step out of the photographer role and into the client role, and realize that the suspense might be agonizing!
I got this note in an email today: “The only thing I do on the computer is check your blog….I am dying to get a sneak peek!!!” I won’t keep you waiting any longer! 
This family was so much fun. They were a newborn session referred to me by my friend, Elizabeth, in hopes that I might have availability on my calendar the week the baby was due. Luckily they contacted me a few weeks before their due date, which made it much easier to fit them in to my schedule. It is such a blessing for Elizabeth and I to be able to help each other with clients when our schedules get overfilled, not to mention the blessing I find in our friendship outside of the photography world.
Their baby boy and their young daughter were both incredibly precious! The little guy didn’t want to sleep at first, but then he dozed off nicely as we spent some time creating their daughter’s portraits. The love in this family was a beautiful thing to see!
Thank you, M Family (and thank you, Elizabeth), for the opportunity to be your photographer as you welcome your son into your family. It was wonderful to meet you all!
