On Sunday afternoon, I met up with Bellamy and her family for a few photos. Bellamy is already nine months young! Hard to believe that just a year ago, I was photographing her before she had even been born (maternity photos)! This go round, we met at a local park to take advantage of the beautiful fall foliage. I love how mom and dad are wearing chambray, while Bellamy is dressed in hot pink. We all know who is really in charge, but when you’re wearing a hot pink owl romper, you’ve made sure we don’t forget! One of my favorite things about portrait work, specifically my “watch me grow” clients, is being able to document a family together as they “grow up.” Ya know what I mean? From expecting parents who are full of hopes and dreams, to new parents who are completely exhausted, to being nine months in…singing and laughing and loving every minute of it. It really is, by far, the greatest “paid” job I could have ever dreamed of. And clients like Bellamy make every day so joyful! I often feel as though I’ve become an extension of the family. In most cases, I’m friends with my clients outside of what I’m “paid” to do. But enough about me! I had an incredible time hanging out with Miss Bellamy the other day and can’t wait to get together with her again soon. In fact, I do believe we’re only a few short months away from a first birthday. Until next time,
