As the stormclouds started to fill the sky and the day became gloomy, I started to worry that we weren’t going to be able to follow through with Mariah’s session….on her birthday! We’ve had this session scheduled for MONTHS now, and there was no way I was going to miss it. And Erica (Mariah’s AMAZING mom) wasn’t either. So…we did it anyway. And I’m so happy we did…
Although primarily what you see on my blog are weddings, what I love the most about what I do really isn’t the type of work but the moments. Whether it’s a glimpse of love, laughter or even…at times, sadness….these memories are the reason I LOVE photography! And I feel like Mariah’s session contained so many special moments of growth and learning.
Like the moment when she first felt rain…or noticed her reflection in the glass. These are SUCH special moments and I’m so happy I was there to capture them as she grows.
She doesn’t seem to mind spending her birthday full of attention, balloons, and cupcake cookies, does she?!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE her here….she was SO intrigued by her reflection, the glass, and the light bouncing off of the museum.
This is Henry….POOR Henry. I think she loves him TOO much sometimes…lol π π π
And yet another sweet moment of simply Mariah… π
If you know me…I mean really know me, then you know how much I cry. Whether I’m happy or sad, or tired, or excited…yes, I don’t hesitate to shed a tear. I have a soft heart even though I try to hide it at times by being strong….so don’t be surprised if we’re working together and you see me shed a tear or two. It’s just the way I am…
To more tears of joy and more special moments held still,
Catherine
