These guys contacted me last minute hoping I could squeeze them in and I was so glad it worked out–even if we had to cancel and reschedule do to an untimely spring snow storm!  Remy was just as sweet as could be with equally sweet parents eager to make her as happy and comfortable as possible.  When I arrive at homes I never know what to expect–but lately I have lucked out.  Awesome people, awesome homes, awesome stories.  I think Remy is going to be an old-soul.  I’ll be curious to see if I’m right in a few years–so I hope we cross paths again!

I used to be a negative person.  Everything wrong seemed to happen to me.  It was a dark period of my life–when I recognized life was so much sweeter on the other side, I became free to be happy and grateful and to recognize all the the small gifts that I am given almost daily.  When we moved into our neighborhood about five years ago, we were disappointed that we didn’t seem to have many neighbors with small kids, or that were the “lets hang out” type.  But that changed by the time my oldest daughter went to kindergarten.  Suddenly, we were seemingly surrounded by children and awesome families.  These guys are one of those families. They are our neighbors and our daughters are the same age.  You never know how ‘alone’ you feel in times of crisis with no family around until you suddenly have a safety net next door.  We have been so lucky to have gotten to know Rebecca, Donny, and their two littles and to call them friends.  So, when my studio renovation was completed, I was thrilled to have them over to get some updated photos of them.

This little beauty was born just before my own one year old’s birthday, and so, when mom contacted me for newborn pictures and I had to say no, I was a bit devastated! It’s so hard to turn away people that have trusted you with their memories for so long.  Some never return and I was definitely scared that would happen here.  Luckily though it didn’t.  I had the honor of seeing these guys this past fall for my mini sessions and then they contacted me again for miss Ramona’s one year photos and I couldn’t have been more thrilled!
