When I look at these images, I smile. They make my heart happy. This family opened up, relaxed and let me capture their love in a very honest way. The session was over so quickly I found myself wondering on my drive home if I had ‘missed’ something. Did I capture it all??? And when I opened the images on my computer, I saw the most beautiful love right there staring back at me. Photographers know that feeling – the heart races a bit and you can’t wait to begin editing the images because you know you got “it”.
I have written about following my heart recently, and that is exactly what this session is to me… a session full of heart. You will not see a carefully posed or stiffly positioned family. I hope what you see is emotion, feeling… love. Because I know that when I look back on the photos of my family, I want to feel something. I want to see and feel who we were and how we loved at that very moment in time…
And not only does this family have a whole lotta heart, they also have a lotta soul….
Thank you, Jacqui and Antonio. I can’t even begin to tell you what a pleasure it was to meet you and photograph your beautiful family. Your children are not only gorgeous but just so incredibly sweet. I hope you enjoy your photos and I will be in touch very soon….
