There is a great feeling watching families grow. I photographed little Sawyer when he was a newborn a few years back and it was a pleasure to get to partake in another family milestone– daddy was returning home!! I thoroughly enjoyed helping the P Family welcome back their daddy; although homecomings still choke me up, nothing is more precious then seeing a family reunite. After the P Family got to spend some quality time with daddy, I got to see they again for a beautiful beach family session which marked their last trip to a NC beach before their move. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to watch this family grow and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for this amazing family.
P Family– thank you guys for continuing to allow me to partake in your family’s life. It means so much. I wish you all the best in your new adventures =)
With love,
