When Lauren reached out to me about squeezing in a session my initial thought was...no. I had closed my books for the year and was feeling a bit overwhelmed by my schedule. Something prompted me to say yes though. I believe it was God, as he always has behind the scenes plans. I'm so grateful I did. The Arrance family are some of the kindest souls I've had the privilege of working with. Gratitude would be the word I would use to describe them and their family dynamic. I knew from talking to Lauren before the session that this year has been very rough. I wanted to be able to give her something to brighten up her spirits just a little bit.
We had 20 minutes for this session. 20. And I had more beautiful images than I sometimes have in an hour long session. The reason? Her family's joy, connection and gratitude. All I really had to do was stand back and watch (and of course click the shutter:). Her daughter was radiant inside and out and I was truly mesmerized by her beauty and her joy.
And that smile.
Lauren, I pray for peace for the remainder of this year and the next. I pray that in all of what lies ahead you remember the absolute blessing of your beautiful family. And I will give you guys 20 minutes of my time ANYTIME!!

Rita Andrews - Oh I love these pics. We are a family created through the miracle of adoption. Special needs and older child adoption has been where the Lord called us. Being high school sweetheart, birthing our twins our first year of marriage and then 7 adoptions. Time flies. I would love to have a family session. What a blessing to have amazing pictures to pass down generations to come!
