“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever… it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.”
-Aaron Siskind
I’m writing this blog before I’ve even begun processing any of the images or sneaks from this session. I know, it’s a bit unconventional, but there is so much joy coming from the images on my second screen and as I go through them, I feel compelled to write. The only title I could think of to do this post justice is ‘love’.
I loved this day. I didn’t expect that it would turn out the way it did, but because I was asked to photograph this family and event by someone that is so close to my heart, I don’t know why I am surprised of the way the day just fell into place.
When I’m asked to photograph families, I feel so blessed. I get to see them for who and what they are. For how they respond and interact with each other. I get to laugh and celebrate with them; to hear their inside jokes and stories. This family had so many, and my cheeks hurt from laughing with them. And as I spent the afternoon waiting for the next part of the photo shoot to start, I almost felt as if I were apart of their family.
So, with that said, I’mso happy to share a few photos of these wonderful people. I swear you can feel their happiness from the smiles in these photos. I love families.
This wonderful couple celebrated their 50th anniversary on Monday. I wish them many more years of love and happiness together!
