Sometimes, it takes my breath away

You ever have a moment where, you hoped something turned out as well as you thought it did? That is what happened to me with my most recent session. On Labor Day weekend, I met up with a family at a beautiful location in Durham, NC called, West Point on the Eno. It’s an amazing park full of lush trees, old clapboard sided homes and buildings, plus a place where you can rent canoes and go out on the water. Truly a stunning location. Add to the mix a couple very much in love with each other and their adorable daughter and you have a recipe for a fabulous photo session. For whatever reason, the clients who come to me don’t usually have daughters. Not sure why that is but, can I just tell you how much I LOVED photographing this little girl? She was spunky, incredibly intelligent, and just lovely. She had a stuffed animal with the best. name. EVAH. Gigi Butterscotch. I’m sorry but that is hands down the best name I’ve ever heard. And she’s only 4 folks.

Anyway, we had a blast at this session and I couldn’t wait to come home and download all the images so I could see them!  Unfortunately, I HAD to wait.  My family had an event to attend that afternoon and the minute I got home from the photo session we had to turn around and run out to a surprise party for one of my husband’s oldest friends.  We had a great time but every once in a while my mind would drift off and wonder what the images from the morning’s session were like.  We stayed at the party late into the night so the images would have to wait until the next day.  And they were so worth the wait!  When they popped up on my screen, I was so excited and spent the next few days editing them.  This is one of my favorite sessions to date and I hope you like them, too.

Without further adieu, please allow me to introduce you to Miss “F” and her friend, Gigi Butterscotch.
