Remember how it felt to be a young girl (okay well maybe you don’t if you are a guy and by the way, if you are a guy thanks for taking the time to read this girls Blog!) and the pretty older girl came strollin’ into the room and you thought to yourself “man, I hope that I am that pretty when I grow up.” Well, that’s how I felt when I met Christie years ago! She was my handsome Uncle Bruce’s girlfriend for quite sometime. She was the cool and pretty girl that stood out in the crowd.
That was many years ago and now I am all grown up and you know what? Christie is still the cool and pretty woman who stands out in the crowd…nothing much has changed…unless you take into account the debonair husband and the two little heartbreaker boys that now accompany her into the room. As a family, they stand out in a crowd. What a beautiful, happy, all American family! I am so proud for Christie and all that she has accomplished in her life! She is a fabulous Mother, an enthusiastic business woman and lady grounded in her strong faith.
I was so excited when Christie asked me to photograph her family. Not only did I get to catch up a bit with her and hug her neck after so many years but I got to know her family and it felt like I had known them just as long as I have known her. In fact, both boys came up and hugged my neck and thanked me after the session. You know that you have done something right when two young men come up and hug your neck! I was so happy that they actually enjoyed their session! Boys, guys, men…it is hard to get any of ya’ll to have fun while getting your picture taken.
I hope that it won’t be this many years between our visits again. You are just as beautiful now as I remember you being when I was a little girl. You will always be like family to me! I hope that you enjoy your sneak peeks…
There is just something about this “real life moment” in the capture below that makes me smile!
