Photographing Jackson for me was a full circle in my career. Let me explain. Jonathan and Shelley were my very first couple. They hired me to photograph their wedding based on what they saw in me and in my work that truthfully I am not sure I even saw in myself at the time. Thrilled...excited...and scared to pieces I documented their wedding day. It was such an awesome experience. It solidified for me that I had arrived...I was walking on the path that had been laid out for me...and boy did it feel good. I adore these two. Their foundation and love for the Lord and each other is strong. Walking into their gorgeous home filled with vintage finds and Shelley's sweet design touches all over was even a bit surreal. Hanging on their walls, some of the beautiful images from their wedding day. I love knowing that they are enjoying my art...it brought me so much joy. So yes- back to full circle (sorry I veered off). This is my first couple's first baby. Sweet Jackson just like his mom and dad could not have been a more easy going "client" :). Shelley fed him well before our shoot and I can honestly say I barely saw the whites of his eyes the whole time! He was zonked out asleep! What a joy to be a part of documenting this new beginning. Again, what a gift to be trusted with such sweet memories. Thank you two again for the blessing you have been in my career and my life!
