The late afternoon sun is warm and welcoming as Joyce, Chris and I wander around the location that they scouted for their E-Session. I love when clients peep out great spots full of color, texture and little nooks and crannies to explore. Joyce told me how nervous they were about the session and I know how hard it can be on the other side of the lens. Trust me as we walk and talk and forget that there is a camera. Just focus on each other and this incredible connection that you share and just let me be there….. She did, he did, we shot….. Here are a few of my faves =)
It starts out as a little tingle when the baby hairs on the back of my neck feel that electric buzz so closely associated with the joy of stumbling onto a moment. I get really excited as my hand grips a little tighter and my right eye squints a little more while I peer through the viewfinder. Barely breathing so as not to cause any unwelcome movemen, click! Some days can be like a treasure hunt, searching desperately for these gems while days like today are more like emotional rain storms. They did not cry tears of joy once, twice or even three times. There was no limit on the members of family sharing in the love. The laughter was not rationed yet given freely and often. Click… turn around – another moment, click…. glance to the left -smiles and hugging, click… Yes, today was not like your ordinary every day kind of storm. It was the perfect storm! Filled with this indescribable love between Kelly and Bob. A bond between sisters so close that anyone nearby can feel it. The adoration of fathers and mothers towards their children and most importantly the combination of all of these elements which makes for – click… a day I totally enjoyed documenting. Thank you so much Kelly and Bob for loving each other so purely and for crying and laughing and hugging and kissing often and for so freely sharing all of these emotions with us!
