Not only did I get to capture Nicole and her family, but we added her parents and siblings to the mix, as well. I had no trouble capturing the love and laughter between these family members. It truly makes me happy when people set aside time to make an investment in photos - they are such a wonderful reminder of what you have to be most grateful for <3
This family is so precious. It has been my pleasure to photograph them over the last few years. We found some dreamy shade on a pretty toasty Fall day. It was so sweet to capture the special bond of the Wiekel Family.
So I thought as I begin to post photos from the wonderful Mother's Day sessions I had in May, I would choose a word for each post that represents who and what Mom's are. I don't know all these women well, but I know them enough to at least call out the character and responsibility they hold in their current daily lives of motherhood. So here we go ...
Resilience
Mom's have to keep on keeping on even when everyone else can't or doesn't. They possess this amazing drive that even when their feelings are overwhelming, the housework is piling up, the circumstances are hard and the meals won't make themselves - they just do. Mom's are driven, obviously by love. I've seen Erin keep on for her family and she does it with a smile, because she's such a loving woman.
You know when you watch your kids and see even the tiniest bit of their personality start to show up? Isn't it fun to think what they'll grow up to be like?! Well, the Irons have 3 kiddos full of personality - all unique and beautiful in their own way. Alexa is definitely smarter than I am. Drew is creative and crazy and fun. Finally, little Brooke is shy and reserved, but so so sweet. It is neat to watch them all grow and become themselves, even just from behind the lens. This is another reason I love capturing families - I get to see the change, the growth and of course, all the love. Here is the great Irons family Fall mini-session:
You know when you see a beautiful photo of a good looking family - you make assumptions. I do it too! I think, "Looks like they got it altogether!" "Looks like things are going great!" But ya know one picture can't tell the whole story - but it can be a great testament to the story!
The Schultz' family has been through a lot! Yes, they have 2 handsome young boys, but it was a long journey of pain and struggle to bring them into the world. Marcee suffered through HG (hyperemesis gravidarum) which is more than just 'morning sickness', it is constant severe struggle of intense sickness, with both her pregnancies. Those were both truly difficult years, but this picture is a testament to God's help and faithfulness.
I love looking at these pictures and thinking of God's care and this family's strength! I love photos that tell a story, but these pictures of testimony almost bring me to happy tears! Here is the strong and super sweet Scultz family:
