One of the greatest joys of being a photographer is that you make life long friends. Matthew and Melanie got married and we had the privilege of photographing their wedding, since then we've done a styled shoot together (Melanie and her sister own an incredible antique rental business for weddings and events), a family session with Melanie's side of the family and most recently a shoot with Melanie and her new sweet little one Maia. I think it's safe to say they fall into the "life long friend" category.Getting to photograph families in their home is my favourite, I love getting to see their space, and it's usually where their little ones feel most comfortable. Matthew and Melanie's home is a photographers dream, clean white walls, minimal art, fun accent pieces and great light. One of my favourite features was a big chalkboard that currently has written on it; "It won't be like this for long". When I asked Melanie she just shared how it's a reminder that the seasons of life go fast, and to enjoy them because it won't be like this for long. This can be true for the good seasons, hard seasons and even trying seasons. It was such a reminder to me in this season to remember that it won't be like this for long, so enjoy every moment! So today I am enjoying the cuteness of Baby Maia.
