Waaaaay back in 2003, the first bridal portraits that I ever shot were of Resa and her sister, who got married 6 weeks apart (their poor parents, right?!?). Resa was one of the first of her friends to get married, and she was sweet enough to pass my name along to most all of her friends when they got engaged. In all, I think I was the photographer for 5 or 6 of them! Anyway, I’ve kept in touch with Resa and her husband Brenn, and we’ve been trying to plan a family session for over a year. Brenn contacted me right before Mother’s Day, wanting to surprise Resa with a portrait session…..but the same week Resa ALSO contacted me wanting to schedule something! Ack!! I felt so badly trying to put her off until he could give her the gift. 🙂
We had a gorgeous morning in Spartanburg for their long-awaited family portraits. Brenn and Resa’s little girl Addison is so beautiful…
Daddy and Addie…
I think Addison is SUCH a mix of Brenn and Resa both; I see so much of each of them in her…
I looooove this setting and Addison’s long dress & sweet bare feet. So Southern!
Soooooo stinkin’ cute!
Consider this your pouty-face warning. Here it comes…
Brenn and Resa, um are they a pretty little couple or what?
Brenn’s sweet girls…
A little girl’s first love will always be her daddy…
And finally, one of my favorites from the day…
I say it all the time, and I read it on other photographers’ blogs all the time, but it is so true: nothing is more rewarding than having clients I also consider my friends. Few people have the opportunity to follow a family through the most important times in their lives. I am so happy and humbled to do what I do!
Don’t forget to leave a comment to “show me (and Miss Addison’s family) some love!”
