Wagner Family
If you don’t know the Wagner Family, you are really missing out! I am completely amazed by this family. They are close-knit and compassionate, and truly some of the most gracious people you will ever meet. They are the kind of people who drop everything to help someone in need. I witnessed that first hand at this session!
You may remember Eric’s senior pictures (total stud, now studying at UNLV) from last year. I really couldn’t wait to get the whole family in front of the camera! The Wagner’s literally made my dreams come true! This was my first family that agreed to a morning session, and not only that, but they brought THE most cheerful attitudes at 7 am! That’s not easy to do, ha! I was smiling and laughing the entire time; the Wagner Family is so much fun to be around!
These guys did ANYTHING I asked of them. I’m pretty sure if I would have said, “Hey, this cow dung is really cool, let’s sit right next to it!” that they would not have hesitated. (We did succeed at avoiding the manure though, haha!) They made my job so easy. I put Lilly to work holding the reflector, and she totally rocked it. I need to hire her!
Rich and Brooke are really amazing parents. They were playful, loving, and always encouraging. I loved watching the two of them together and how they made each other laugh. This session was a total dream, and I couldn’t have asked for more incredible people to photograph.
Remember when I said I witnessed first hand these people would drop everything to help someone out? Well, we were driving to the second location, and my tire blew (or at least I thought that was the problem). Rich, Eric and Brayden were all helping to get the spare tire on when they noticed it was a much worse problem and that missing caliper bolts would mean my car would need to be towed. Immediately they said they had a car trailer and could run and get it to tow my car back home, instead of waiting for a tow truck.
It was a busy Saturday morning for them with a family breakfast, basketball games, and getting Eric on the road back to college. They did not have time for my car problems, but they made time to help me for the rest of the morning. Honestly, I get choked up when I think of their incredible tenderness that day.
Dear Wagner Family,
Thank you for being a total blast at our session and for being willing to wake up early to catch the light! Thank you for trusting me with your family pictures. You guys brought so much joy to these pictures. I can’t thank you enough for slowly driving up the road in search of a small caliper bolt, for loading up the car trailer, loading up my car, and then bringing it home on a busy Saturday morning. Your selflessness is incredible and I am forever in your debt. Thank you for being so kind to me and my family while we’ve lived here in Lovelock. I love you Wagner Family!
