During the Christmas holidays, I had three siblings contact me about doing a surprise session for their mom as a gift. I have not photographed these three in about five years! It’s so easy to let time slip by and forget about preserving our memories with photographs. One of my favorite parts about being a photographer is getting to watch my clients grow and look back at themselves over the years. I enjoyed catching up with them while we took photos. Their mom was definitely in for a surprise because she dropped her son off at school and had no idea that they ended up signing him out so that he could be in the photographs too. Each person represented such a unique stage in life; one in college, one in high school, and one in elementary school. As I edited their photographs it made me feel old, haha. I don’t ever feel like I’m getting that much older but children just shoot up like weeds! I bet that mama had tears in her eyes when she was able to unwrap such a special gift from her children, I know I definitely would have!
