Brandie hires me to capture intentional and authentic moments for her family several times a year. Creating this time capsule of art for her family has been nothing short of magical for me. Each time she emails me with the direction she’d like to take upcoming sessions, we coordinate a plan for ideal circumstances and trust what the other brings to the table. I don’t believe the outcome is ever a final product either of us could have envisioned in our heads, exactly, but the memories and nostalgia the final gallery creates is palpable. Combine that feeling with a consistent schedule of documentation of the same group, and it becomes an entire collection of art and family heirloom that’s invaluable in more than just one person’s life.
By authentic, I obviously don’t mean that Brandie and her boys likely sit in fields of wildflowers several times a week, no. That’s not the point. But wildflowers may bring about a certain sentiment for her. Combine that feeling the flowers bring with the sweet innocence of her baby boys so lovingly bringing their mama blooms by the handful and we’ve created a portal back to the feeling of innocence and joy that embodies her boys at this age in their lives. This is what family documentation is about, for me at least…
