It started out as a trial shoot to test out the new gear and get familiar with using it in preparations for the upcoming schedule I have this wedding season. I figured I would get a few pictures of the girls to document their adorable ages and cuteness while they still let me, and a few with their daddy to put up on his locker at work (cliche, I know). But what I least expected to happen was the A-ha moment that happened. There I was camera in hand, staring at three amazing people. Three individual and remarkable beings, just standing there in my presence exuding this love for not only one another, but for me. It hit me. God gave me three of the best gifts I could ever ask for. I watched in awe as my husband hugged his girls and they grabbed onto his fingers, not clinging for dear life (as they do when it's time for bed and they desperately don't want to listen to mommy) but with a gentle compassion that shows trust and comfort. They donned subtle smiles that were so pure and genuine, showing they were happy to be there in the moment with each other. My heart must have skipped a few beats, because I was in love what was unfolding in front of me.
It's a little funny how God just gives you little things, everyday. This day it was realizing how thankful I am for my husband and our girls, and my passion for capturing all of life's blessings.
Have a great day everyone!
