Client For LIFE!

 

Oh, my beautiful Gray family!

 

Every year we have our yearly rendezvous with portraits and every year I am reminded how much I truly love and cherish each one of you. We both in a sense were there from the beginning – me, by being there from Greyson’s Maternity session. And you by being there earlier on in my business. We have both seen growth and change on both sides. Yet every time we get together it’s like we never missed a beat. I still could go out for coffee or to dinner with you all and listen forever to kids tell me their stories.

 

I love what I do so much because it has lead me to people like you. People who start as clients but very quickly turn into family. I remember every single session with you all like it was yesterday. When you have a loss in your family I feel that loss. When you have a celebration or a new job I celebrate with you. I remember first breaths, first steps, first words, first laughs and so many more firsts that it feels just like it was my own babies.

 

Every year I am moved to see your love still going so strong. Life is hard. Times can be hard, yet when you find people who love and have a family still fighting for each other it’s a beautiful thing. I am thankful to witness that. And to have been able to witness so many of the most amazing times in your life with you. It is like this amazing book you have written, and I am able to experience and remember much of what is in that book. To me that is one of the greatest honors.

 

I enjoy these babies so much. They are growing into their own persons and I am excited but also a bit sad that they do not know me more than they do. I am excited to see what they do when they grow up. With the parents they have I KNOW only great things await them. I hope they always know that I love them. I will keep the leaves that Punkin gave me forever. I will always look back and laugh at how Deuce is following right in his sister’s footsteps when it comes to taking pictures. I won’t know what to do with myself when they no longer act like kiddos who hate getting their picture taken. Part of the fight to get everyone to look at the same time is also part of the joy that comes with these years. They look at everything through new eyes and there is no possible way they could sit still for even one second.

 

Take it all in my loves, because soon it will be gone.

 

Thank you both or letting me into your life. Changing and growing with me. Letting me experience the greatest times in your life. Your memories will never die because you have prints of them everywhere. I love that! AND I LOVE YOU ALL!!

 

ENJOY YOUR SNEKAS!
