I’m not sure how it happened, or what changed, but I think I’ve become a morning person? Perhaps it’s the effects of daylight savings taking ahold of me, but I bounced out of bed bright and early this morning, ready to spend my hours hunched over my less-than-pristinely-white keyboard, whittling away at this never ending to do list. With the hum of my space heater {greatest invention!} and the snoring of my dog to keep me company, progress was made in the hours before the sun appears. Lazy sun, taking its dear sweet time to yawn over the horizon. Yeah, I’m winning over the sun.
If that doesn’t start out for a beautifully productive Thursday, I don’t know what does?
What about featuring this stunning senior today as well?!
Sometimes I don’t get a chance to express how much I actually appreciate my job and the people who I get to meet because of it. And this family? <heart> I photographed Sam’s brother’s senior session in 2009 and was thrilled when they contacted me again for her session this fall. The light was gorgeous. The colors were perfection. The girl, well, the girl rocks! 🙂 And all that is great and wonderful and grand. But the best part was what was happening behind the lens. Watching Sam and her parents joke, chat and laugh together was like being granted access to this easy, natural, pure, real, love. And it was exactly the same way during her brother’s senior session all those years ago. Simply put; great people being great people. And then they invited me inside their house. And as we looked through photographs, talked paint schemes, oohhed and ahhhed over Sam’s artwork and laughed some more, it really hit me how much more comes with this job than simply photography.
And that’s pretty cool.
