Franklin Baby Photographer | Home life documented.
I have clients who have been with me for years.
There is honestly nothing more meaningful than that. They are so loyal and we share a special bond. I have watched them become parents ( a few times over) and seen their family grow. I have watched mothers go from nervous Nancy's to confident mommas. I have watched parents change from hyper controlling to chill over the years.
I have a sweet client, Betty, who has 2 girls. I have photographed both pregnancies and both babies. I have filmed them and photographed their families. I will film them again in 2022.
Her sweet sister has had a longer journey into parenthood. oddly, 3 times in November, I met someone who had a baby via surrogacy or was a surrogate for someone else. Chris (my client, Betty's sister), was the 3rd.
Baby Lincoln is 3 months old and doing very well. Chris & Wes are amazing parents. It feels extra special when you capture clients who had a harder journey. I cannot imagine the heartache of not being able to have a baby. Infertility and miscarriage are absolutely heartbreaking.
Chris had a time crunch for a session and we were able to get it in - I was on call for a baby due a week later and needed that baby to hold off so we could have this session. Chris' parents were flying back to Hong Kong China the next day! (followed by 2-3 weeks of quarantine in a hotel). We felt so blessed that it all worked out, and honestly, it couldn't have gone better!
I LOVE capturing extended family. Before 2020, these sessions gave me anxiety and I would refer them out. But after watching families separated for so long, it became so much more meaningful that I wanted to do them. I cannot believe what I missed out on! I felt the love in this family immensely. You could feel a sense of sadness too, knowing that one set of grandparents would leave for a long time. Everyone had an immense sense of gratitude too. Gratitude for baby Lincoln and for being together. The Paternal grandparents lived on the same land, so baby Lincoln is blessed tremendously to have them so close.
I cant wait to film this family in 2022. Its going to be a real tear jerker.
