I have developed so many great friendships thru my photography. I know a lot of photographers that decide at some point in their career to focus on only one aspect of photography, either wedding or portraits. I don't think that I am going to be able to do that...partly because I think that I have a hard time concentrating on just one thing, ooooh shiny... oh yeah, and love that every day brings something different. But mostly, I love that when my brides start their families, I get to renew the old friendship and become a documenter of their life once again by photographing their newborns.
I know a lot of photographers that say after the job, they just want to move on to the next couple. Not me. I don't think it takes my couples very long after they hire me, to realize that they are stuck with me for the long haul. Maybe, it's that part of my personality that makes them hire me in the first place. But more on relationship building in another blog!
Yesterday, I got to revisit a friendship with one of my favorite brides I met Torie, her mom and sister for lunch. Torie and her sister are both expecting their first baby and I can't wait to take those pictures. It was so much fun visiting with them all and catching up. Everyone had places to go and errands to run, to make the most of the holiday off of work. So we decided to make it a "quick" lunch..Two hours later we were still sitting there and chatting!! After sharing all our stories and getting caught up we finally had to part ways. I can't wait for the upcoming weeks. Torie is due in 6 weeks and her sister Kristen in 2...Yay, babies!!! and Yay friends!
