When Kathryn got out of her car all I could think was "Wow she's stunning!", then when her son Michael got out of the car all I could think was "OH MY GOD, HE'S PERFECT!". From their curls, to their eyes, to their adorable outfits, I was literally S W O O N I N G ! I was instantly so much more excited to get them in front of my camera.

This sweet boy gave his mama a run for her time the whole session. He just wanted in the water, near the water, and to be looking at the water. He did not care that there was a little baby alligator swimming in that water, he just wanted the water. Kathryn kept apologizing the whole session and all I could do was smile, because even though he wasn't sitting still and saying cheese he was giving me everything I needed to capture true authentic emotion in the photos so his mama could look back and honestly feel the moment. She's gonna remember that day as many tears, fights, and chaos but these photos are gonna show her what I saw. I think as moms we get over worked in the moment when things aren't "perfect"; we stress out, get anxious and nervous, and maybe even panic, that we forget to just breathe and enjoy those rough moments.

What made this session even more perfect was the fact that Kathryn's mother was able to be there and to get pictures with her grandson. Coming from a person who values photographs and also from someone who has Z E R O of herself with her grandparents, I take full advantage of these moments when they arise to me. Michael will get to hold onto these images for all time. He gets to cherish these and pass them down to his children. I wish I had that to pass down to my children.

I hope that I get to capture more sweet moments for Kathryn and her family as the years come. I truly enjoyed meeting part of her sweet family and hope to meet her husband soon. As to all my other mamas out there, take a moment to go kiss your babies whether they are 6 months old or 32 years old. They will always be your baby. <3
