This family. I just love this family so much!! In the last year, I have had the opportunity to shoot several sessions for this amazing family and they truly became friends from the very first time we met. Colleen, Erin's mom contacted me saying that they would be coming up to visit Hendersonville from St. Croix to meet their brand new grandbaby and they wanted some family pictures with the new addition! As if that wasn't exciting enough, Erin's brother, sister-in-law, and baby niece would be flying in and surprising them as well! Colleen and I worked out a plan that would allow me to be there to document the big surprise. As you will see, it worked out perfectly, and this sweet family was left with some awesome memories to look back on!
These are the types of sessions I live for and crave! I had such a blast with this and I cannot wait to do more surprise sessions!! A couple of days after the big surprise, we also did more of a formal family session at The Carl Sandburg Place. So make sure to come back and take a look at those pictures in a few days!
