But now I want to put the breaks on everything. Everything is moving much, much too quickly. I just want this merry-go-round to stop for just a second and let me take it all in for a few minutes.
And unfortunately, my job makes me feel this way about my clients, too. I’m sure I must’ve seemed like that annoying aunt that pinches everyone’s cheeks and says, “My, how you’ve grown!” when I saw them again for our session. I was just so overwhelmed with how much the children (well, some of them don’t even seem like children anymore) had changed. See that adorable little red-head in the blue shirt? Yeah. This was him just a few years ago. And the littlest guy wasn’t even a glimmer in mom’s eye yet. But the older two…wow! They are now beautiful and protective and confident and intelligent young adults.
In her pre-session questionairre, mom wrote that she wanted to document where they were at this point in time: “son taller than his mom, but not dad. daughter getting so pretty and surviving as the lone girl. J being crazy. baby being snuggly.” These words really struck a chord with me. I love how she noticed this important milestone for her family. I loved this little preview of what my life might be like in just a few short years. It makes me both happy and sad. I love when pictures can do both.
It.Looks.So.AMAZING.
And I just cannot wait to see all five of them together after we celebrate his 1st Birthday. Can you imagine how much fun it’s going to be for their family to sit down together and flip through these albums over the years? I’m jealous. I wish I had the foresight to make something like this for each of my babies.
So, before I go back to his 9 month pics, I’ll leave you with some more from his 6 month session:
This may very well have been the most active session I’ve ever
done…and that’s saying a lot because there were only two people
involved. I think it very accurately reflects where he is in his life
right now, which is *exactly* what his mommy wanted to capture.
flew planes and skateboarded…
…followed by more skateboarding…
…and snuggles from mom.
Then we practiced some edible spelling…
…football…
(I hope he appreciates his spectacular peepers)
…and of course some baseball:
(omg, LOVE the tongue).
More snuggles from mom and then to cap off the evening, a nice bike ride:
Yup. That covers it. We indeed did it all.
No, seriously…LOVED this session:
I admit it’s a little tough for me to watch these kiddos grow up. It reminds me of how fast my own children are growing. But it does make me happy that families are documenting each of these milestones in photographs…something I promise they will never regret. It makes me excited to see how much she’s going to change even over the next year. Thank you guys…from the bottom of my heart..it has been a beautiful, beautiful year with you!
