I have started typing this post only to delete it all and start over countless times now. I’m just going to get my thoughts out.

Things are… weird right now. We aren’t used to being told to stay home and stay away from each other. We take for granted little things like going out to eat or going to see a movie. We may have some fear and anxiety as we face the unknown. We may be watching the news religiously or avoiding it completely. We are all getting through it one day at a time in our own way!

I miss you guys. As much as I dislike the “general public”, I really truly LOVE “my people”. And you guys are “my people”. The families who have allowed me into their lives to see a glimpse at their beautiful, messy, REAL families. The ones who have let me be a part of their children growing up. I get so much joy watching babies turn into big kids, watching nervous couples navigate the uncharted waters of parenthood and then seeing them come back a year later, fully confident and seasoned as parents of a toddler.

But now I can’t do that. This stinks. I’m not gonna lie, this thing has been really hard for me too. I just miss your kids.

I can’t wait to see you all when this thing is over.

I’m going to chose to stay positive.

On another note, I’m booking well into fall now, so if you think you’ll want family photos in summer or fall, please don’t wait! Let’s go ahead and secure a date for you now.

I know you’re probably struggling too. Hang in there. This too shall pass. It may pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass.

Until then, enjoy some images from one of my last sessions before the “Stay in place” order was issued. (Distancing guidelines were observed during this session. That’s the joy of a 70-200 lens!)

I’m really hoping next spring we can schedule more sessions in the blooming peach orchard of B.J. Reece Orchards. Isn’t is GORGEOUS?
