surprise bday gift for a dad…

A few weekends ago I got a message from Amanda saying that she wanted to have me do a little session with her two kids (whom are adorable!!), so that she could have a gift for her husband to unwrap on his birthday (that he didn’t actually know about).  So we met for a quick 30 minute session last Monday (thankfully the rain just barely held out long enough for us to get the session done).  I must say her youngest wanted nothing to do with me and my camera 🙂 and her oldest was all smiles.  Amanda was a good sport, b/c even though she wasn’t planning on being in but maybe a few photos, she ended up in the good majority!  Thank you Amanda for being a trooper and jumping in the photos, and I am sooo thankful that the downpour didn’t start till right as we got in our cars to go home.  Here are a few shots from the session…

(If my dream clients wrote a blog post, it might sound like this. Not a real couple, but a very real reflection of the kind of experience I aim to give.) We weren’t just looking for a photographer. We were looking for someone we could trust—someone who would make our wedding feel like us. That […]
