I woke up bright and early to get myself and my equipment ready for this shoot.  So excited to be shooting a client AGAIN in less than a month and this time she brought along her mom, brother, sister-in-law & their 2 cute little girls. When a client comes back in less than a month and brings her whole family it’s a pretty rewarding feeling!  You know you then did something right.  I am so grateful when clients return!

This family was so much fun to spend the afternoon with.  A day to celebrate with Grandma in town, a new graduate from high school off to college on a full scholarship, and little Zoe for making the swim team!  So many accomplishments and special times are times like these when sessions are really important in capturing.  To look back on a photo and say “Gosh, that was the beginning of a new journey for me” or “I will never forget the ones who came to celebrate my special time with me”.  It’s amazing capturing that part of someone’s journey of life.  I have to admit that I do shed a few tears now and then.

Due to me locking my keys in my car with all my camera gear it delayed the shoot for a bit.  A lesson learned for sure!  Thank goodness they packed a picnic and it actually worked out perfect, well all except the old man who insisted joining in on their picnic!  Haha….lucky him cold duck was not on the menu!

Thank you again to the Ahola & Steele family!  You were a fun family to spend an afternoon with!
