Here Come the Brides

First, I am not a wedding photographer. Capturing that magical day is a specialty all its own. And while sometimes I feel a creative urge to explore that realm of photography, I think (as of now) my specialty will remain babies and children. My tiny subjects capture my heart in new and wonderful ways with each session.

But for a little variety now and again, I really enjoy Bridal Portraiture. So it was a treat to get to work with Katie recently …

Katie was a joy to photograph. She is so natural and graceful before the camera. And the highlight of the session? When Katie’s little neice, also a client of mine, found the veil and tried it on. What a beautiful bride she will be one day!

Did you ever think?

“Did you ever think, dear Mother, as the seeds of me you sowed …
As you breathed new life inside me and slowly watched me grow …
In all your dreams about me when you planned me out so well …
When you couldn’t wait to have me there inside your heart to dwell …

Did you ever think that maybe I was planning for you, too?
And choosing for my very own a mother just like you?
A mother who smelled so sweet and who had hands so creamy white,
A tender loving creature who would soothe me in the night.

Did you ever think in all those days while you were coming due
That as you planned a life for me, I sought a life with you?
And now as I lay in your arms I wonder if you knew,
While you were busy making me, I was choosing you.”

Twenty Fingers, Twenty Toes

Meet two beautiful twin boys. They were just home from the hospital, so fresh and tiny and beautiful, when we got the chance to meet last week. I love my portrait sessions with newborn babies. Every time, and time again, I marvel at their tiny fingers, innocent stares, and adorable squirms. And as a mother, to know that these days are so fleeting, that these babies will grow faster than their parents can imagine, makes these sessions all the more meaningful to me. Ah yes, I love photographing newborns, and getting to photograph two at once was the highlight of my week!

So to the parents of these two precious princes, thank you for inviting me to share in their first days at home. I will have all of your session’s images ready for you very soon. Until then, here is a sneak preview!
