My awesome friend who makes the best sourdough bread invited me over to photograph her family one Saturday morning last September. It was suppose to be “Breakfast and Baseball” and I was to get there at breakfast time, capture their time together and then go out to the backyard for some baseball. But life happens, and little boys woke earlier and demanded to be fed before I was there. It’s all good because it was way better than the dreams I had leading up to this session.
First dream: The session is to start at 8am. I leave my house at 10am and forget my camera.
Second dream: The session is to start at 8am. I leave my house at 8:45am and get stuck in the snow on the way there. Good thing I work out because I was able to pull my car out of the snowdrift, put it back on the road, and only arrive an hour late.
I have no idea why I had such stressful dreams. I still get a little nervous going to sessions. Supposedly, that means that I care. And I do. I want to do a good job and do not want to disappoint.
Here are a few memories I captured of her family that beautiful fall morning.
Like many moms, they are missing in most pictures because they are always the ones taking them. The main request for this session was to make sure Mom was front and center. As I was writing this and pulling images to include, I was thinking how this would be perfect for Mother’s Day…but then I would have to write a different blog for today. (And the dream of getting stuck in the snow ties in nicely this time of year, just hoping that it doesn’t really happen!)
