SENIOR SESSION :Emma CO2019

Emma is the youngest of 3 sisters...

all of them raised to be strong women...

with parents that encourage, support, motivate, inspire, and LOVE...

I notice this because I also have 3 daughters...and so when I meet families that are of similar make-up...I take note...

I watch their interactions, the way they speak of each other, their uniqueness and their similarities...

I photographed one of Emma's sisters during her Senior year and I was humbled and honored to be asked to take Emma's as well...

It was fun to see the commonalities between Emma and my own baby girl...

to watch with admiration and hopeful dreams of what my own future will one day look like...

Emma is uncomplicated...she doesn't pretend to be something that she's not...like everyone else, she has her own fears and dreams...she's thoughtful and cautious...but, at the same time, I have a feeling that she'd be the first to jump on an adventure!

We had a great morning...Emma, her mom and I...and I went away feeling more blessed having spent time with them, than having done a service for them...

Emma comes from a home that values relationship...she's close with her sisters, her parents and her friends...

and because their love tanks get filled, they freely give out to others...

and they did so with me...

This time of year, I find it more challenging to recharge...I'm someone that lays it all out on the table for every session...I give all that I have: energy, humor, creativity, intuition...I strive to do my best...

back to back sessions, consistent editing, and just everyday life gets heavier as the days go by...

and yet, I left Emma feeling refreshed, valued...treasured even...

Emma and her mom have discovered a secret way of leaving others better than when they met them...

I want to be like that!!!

Congratulations Emma, I have no doubt in my mind that GREAT PLANS are in store for you...and the people you encounter will be beyond blessed by just being in your presence!
