From pregnancy loss to rainbow 🌈. Emily is a strong and inspiring mother sharing her emotions and feelings around these difficult events. I really enjoyed meeting her family and capturing this special milestone. Head over to her profile @emilycordonier to read her beautiful story 💗
We are creatures of habit, we enjoy the normal, the safe, and the predictable. There is comfort in knowing an outcome. I too enjoy a somewhat predictable routine and if things change up, it takes me time to normalize into it. But you know what? On days we try something new, incredibly wonderful magic happens. We feel more alive and connect to a new understanding of truth and quickly discover our false views. I often see this when people compare photography and how they feel safe with images that their friends or others have done. I’ve never labeled myself as a classic photographer, one who poses or uses props to compliment scenes. I encourage my subjects to live life unscripted in front of my camera, let the scene unfold because the truth of your personality and your children’s will shine in that light. I am sharing this photo because anyone who’s ever had a documentary lifestyle session knows that beauty is in the details. I’ll be honest, I gained a new friend that day because who else lets you enjoy a popsicle on a photo set 😉 Sometimes being different is cool 🤗
Families who laugh together, stay together! ✨
