FAMILY SESSION: Lady Brio

I'm a member of a group of photographers in our area where the motto is Community over Competition.  This sweet gal is one that I like being in community with, and she's a Senior photographer too!  She's amazing at what she does and you can check her out at Lady Brio Photography.

We met through social media, chatted a bit, discovered we shared the same alma mater too!  She's in love with her hubby, homeschools her two beautiful kiddos, photographs gorgeous Seniors and still finds time to send me encouraging notes and messages.  I'm not sure she'll ever know fully how much her thoughtfulness has meant to me!

Life just seems to get busier and busier as my girls get older...so many more things to fit into the same amount of time...and so, when I am given an unexpected gift of another friend, when it wasn't even on my radar...it's definitely deemed a blessing!

I was met with hugs and smiles and happy chatter!!! 

I've been so impressed lately with the parenting I've seen with the families I've engaged with lately as well...the concept of gaining respect, while still encouraging curiosity, exploration, individual ideas...they do it with grace and I'm sure, like us all,  lots of prayer ;) 

I clicked a bit with their daughter...who, Beth, I'm telling you...she's gonna be a a "mini you"...She has charisma and charm...and when she gets into her element, you just want to sit back and watch her shine!!!  Be sure to check out the last series of images where that little gal showed off her tumbling skills into the sunset! 

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting the whole crew!  

What an incredible start to FALL 2017!
