Some families just have that magic spark that translates so well into still images. This is one of those families! Meet Baird & Lisa – one of the sweetest, most genuine couples on the planet! Phillip and I have known them since college – and I say this proudly – We were the other half of the double date that was Baird & Lisa’s FIRST date! We went to a Boys II Men concert together, where a then barely known group named Destiny’s Child did a horrible job lip-synching their way through the opening act! Wow, how things change. {That’s right, Beyonce – I’m talking about YOU, girl!} And speaking of change, Baird and Lisa now have three B E A U T I F U L boys – Brock, Bryson & Brooks. I am sad to say that I hadn’t even met sweet Brooks until the shoot, but he was definitely worth the wait. So, without further ado…
I just adore little boys. Everything about them is so full of sweetness and wonder … and mischief & mayhem all at the same time!
I don’t normally make public recommendations, but Lisa – if you have a mantel, this next one needs to hang over it!! Be still my heart!
And, hello! Just look at that love! Baird and Lisa both just exude kindness. And Lisa’s mega-watt smile could light up a room all by itself! She is one of those people who, when she smiles, you know you are seeing her soul.
And I just adore this next black & white. Nothing sweeter than a momma surrounded by her boys!
Before we met to shoot, Lisa had told me that Brooks was her little Linus – always carrying around his blue blankie and sucking his thumb. She was hoping that I might be able to catch him doing just that, but he was not having any of it as long as he could run around having fun with his brothers! BUT - just as we were wrapping up, standing around talking and catching up as best we could, that sweet baby just gave it up. And I, for one, am so thankful that he did. I’m so glad that we absolutely wore him out! When I got home and saw this image, I literally sat down at the computer and cried because I knew it was just what Lisa was hoping for! And as a mommy to a little boy, I am all to aware of how quickly moments like this pass. So Lisa – This one, especially, is for you … From one sentimental mommy to another!
Oh, how I love you guys!! Your family is beautiful and it was such a joy to be with all of you. Let’s not wait so long for next time, OK? I’ll be in touch about the rest of your images soon!
On a completely un-related note, this may be the last sneak peek I am able to show BEFORE Thanksgiving! I am working feverishly to get everyone’s final cut wrapped up before Wednesday of next week, because I will be out of town visiting family and then on to Disney World for a week! I want to make sure that everyone has what they need from me for Christmas card purposes, so more sneak peeks will likely have to wait until early December. That doesn’t mean that there will be nothing new posted here. I am planning on launching my 2010 pricing schedule as well as my revised policy statement here in the next few days. There are a few other announcements coming along as well, so do check back.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING everyone … I am gratful for you, whether I know you personally or not. Your support and encouragement mean the world to me. May you and yours be richly blessed!
