Over a year ago, I got to photograph Karlene when she was pregnant and then shortly after when the twins were born. This past weekend, I visited the family for Abigail and Kelsa's one year celebration. How amazing to see how the family has grown and evolved! Karlene and Andrew now confident, beaming parents, and Abigail and Kelsa now strong and adventurous girls. What a beautiful family!
About 4 months ago I photographed Andrew and Karlene... and she gave birth a week later to twins! Two beautiful baby girls, Abigail and Kelsa. I finally got to meet these little angels last week. At first they seemed identical, but by the end of the session, their personalities and subtleties were shining through. What a gorgeous family... xoxo
Before every photo shoot, I get butterflies... of excitement and anticipation about what is going to be created in coming together with the intent of capturing someone else's lives. It is a special exchange that takes place. They open their doors, welcoming me into their home, sharing themselves with me, and in return, I share what I see in them, the moments and details that make them and their love unique. Yesterday was no different as I drove down Highway 99 and turned onto a small farm road. Rustic barns, fields of green and rows of sunflowers lined the narrow road, and I began to get really excited to meet this couple for the first time. We had exchanged a couple of emails, but it was all arranged quite quickly because Karlene was due to have twins literally any day! We had to wait until after the weekend, at which point I received an email, "yup, I am still pregnant, so this is a good sign." I liked her already!
Andrew and Karlene, it was such a fun morning together. I cannot wait for part II of this session, when 2 becomes 4! Good luck and much love...
