The email started with, "Hello! I don't even know if you do maternity sessions, but I've been following you for years on Instagram and hope you would consider capturing this really exciting time in our lives!" Are you kidding me?! These are the BEST emails to receive! I appreciate people who follow my work, and then have an exciting event happen in their lives they want me to capture!
Christine and Jonathan have had a long road of becoming parents, so to be in those snowy foothills of Chautauqua Park just weeks before their twins were about to arrive was a highlight of my year. I love that they wanted an outdoor session, even if it had just snowed! I can't wait for their little ones to look back on these images, and the excitement in their parents eyes to be meeting them soon!
