Perry Family

 

 Dear Perry Family,

I adore  you.

Love, Davina

 

When I look at this day I remember:

The way he looks at her

No matter how many times he tried to whisper David still couldn’t stop laughing

Space between them but a dear closeness still

How high he flies in the air and his fearless laugh

Hudson’s really wide eyes always carefully watching what I was doing

Bald babies…and kids.  My favorite…maybe because almost all of my kids were bald until almost 3 years old.

How they are a little rumply laying on the bed together because all real families are a little rumply

The way she’s cuddling him and breathing him in

Those squishy, little chunky legs.  Love them!

Brothers who share…spoons, ice cream…whatever

Eating lunch together and being so grateful to know you.

 

 

Robinson Family

 

Dear Clair,

How do you do it all with so much grace?  You are amazing.

 

Things you reminded me of that day:

There’s always time to slow down

Dogs are hilarious

 

My favorite part of the session:

The altoids mints that couldn’t be abandoned

Both girls wanting to be carried and how beautiful Clair looked in that moment

The upside down book

 

 

Miller Family

 

Dear Little Mister,

I loved following  you in the orchard and watching how sweet you were with your sister.

 

I love when:

Parents get down on their kids’ level to talk to them, play with them

Dad’s chase their kids and the kids laugh and laugh

How excited everyone gets about lots of bubbles

Everyone lays on a blanket and there are lots of funny faces and laughing and talking

It looks like a rooster pooped an apple

I meet families like yours

 

 

Jones Family

 

Dear Cute Family,

Thank you for inviting me into one of the most intimate moments of life.  Being at the birth of your sweet baby was a highlight of the year.

 

How can I not smile at:

That face looking up at you while you both kiss?

The way she’s nestled between you both?

The way you look at your new baby?

The sweet way you are with each other?

The tiny little back rolls of baby skin?

The cloth diaper?

 

 

it’s okay if you still have questions. I love to give you answers!
