We’d been trying to get a session scheduled forever. Finally, it happened. And even though it was fall. It was cold that morning. Really, really, cold! You couldn’t tell. The kids, naturals. The animals, beyond cooperative! The family, ever so delightful to work with.
And yes, there is a celebrity here. Oreo, the chocolate-colored horse had quite the previous owner. Oreo was Bruce’s gift to Demi. That’s right, Demi Moore!
Fall has been pretty perfect across Missouri’s rolling praries this year. The leaves golden and temps lovely. Perfect for a family photo session. The White family’s morning was no exception.
I arrived at the White’s house and to my delight found Logan entranced with the movie UP. “He loves this show,” Mikaela stated. “We watch it at least once a day.” “Perfect!” I exclaimed with delight. My props for the family session would be a hit. Two MASSIVE balloons =) They loved them. We all were happy.
Mikaela and I go way back. To third grade to be exact. Funny how life is. You grow up friends. Move on to college. And life, well, it brings you back to where you started – close in proximity and friends once again. Mikaela’s family is as warm and loving as she is. Kevin, an amazing support to his family; and the kids, enamored with their parents and grandparents. Rekindling a old friendship has been just one of the best things about taking this family’s pictures so frequently. And for that, I’m blessed to call you my friend.
