It is hard to say who was more excited for this photoshoot, Sherry or me. We have been talking about these family pictures for months now! And of course, the weather was really stressful leading up to this day because it was going to snow, and then rain. We both bought cute umbrellas just in case this Nevada spring weather held true to the forecast. Luckily (or maybe unluckily because our umbrellas were super cute) it didn’t rain or snow on us! It just decided to be ridiculously freezing and windy! I’m pretty sure it was 10 degrees outside. At least that is the way it felt! I really can’t believe how awesome everyone was throughout the whole session; they were really amazing.
Haley is the oldest, working, writing, and traveling all over the place. As I talked with her, I quickly realized what a kind soul she is and how selfless she is. Her smile is infectious and she is full of joy. Ada is next with all the spunk and entertainment that comes with a 12, almost 13 year old. She’s right in the middle of being picked on by the oldest and loving on the youngest, Christian. Christian is this super sweet one year old. I’m still in shock that he wasn’t sobbing the entire time with how cold it was. He is so lovable and handsome!!
Some of you know that I bring my daughter, Kiera, to be my assistant on photoshoots. She holds my reflector and gives me shade when I need it so I don’t get a lens flare. Having a clear picture without the distraction of a lens flare is important, so her job is really important! Often, she fades into the background as I’m talking with clients, posing people and moving from place to place. But Haley made a real effort to talk to her and get to know Kiera. It really touched me and I am forever grateful for Haley’s kindness! It was such a small thing, but made such an impact on me.
Dear Knight Family,
Thank you so much for trusting me to do your family photos. I really loved every minute of it. You guys are the toughest clients I’ve ever had, to brave the wind and cold like you did and still be smiling and happy to be doing photos! I’m so grateful for my time in Lovelock, that I got to know you and your sweet family. These kids are incredible because you, David and Sherry, are incredible. You guys are wonderful parents and I love watching you love your children. Both of you have this amazing mild temperament that I really adore. You both just go with the flow and are up for anything. You are always so positive and continuously looking on the bright side. It is such an admirable quality, one I truly admire. I love you all!
