anticipation
i don't get too over-the-top stoked about portrait shoots, usually. i mean, i always have a good time and love to interact with people. it's fun. but really excited? like disney land excited? no. but today i am!
pregnancy pictures are by far my favorite. by far. (i've been around pregnant women too long.) today i get to shoot one of my favorite couples in the world. and they're pregnant. i've known the husband since, um, i don't know how long at this point. since i was in college, i guess, and i would house sit for him while he traveled off to india or someplace for a month at a time. i learned the fine art of connecting people from him, but never really realized that until recently.
the wife. my heavens, she's amazing. i wish i could make a garden grow like she does. i had to miss their wedding because i was in another wedding. but i was the one who made sense of their wedding pictures and organized them and made them presentable. it felt like i was there. this is the couple, for anyone who knows the story, that hooked me up with "the ticket". THE FIRST CLASS TICKET.
These are people who put good things into the world: good smiles. good times. good parties. good conversation. They have always supported me and filled their home with my art and helped me meet people and have offered their time and serivices. i am honored and excited to shoot their pregnancy.
