When the night has come and the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No, I won’t be afraid, oh, I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

I loved this session. I loved these people. I loved their clothing, I loved their colors. I loved their enthusiasm, their constant laughter. I loved the camaraderie and friendship among the kids. I loved how nothing mattered but their togetherness. No one had to be ‘perfect’; just being themselves was perfect. I loved this session so much we were still shooting when the sky was dark. Like dark dark. And no one seemed to care (except for maybe the ISO on my camera which seriously pushed its limits). 

This is a crew who knows how to love. They know how to have fun. And they know how to stand by each other. This is what family should be, and I am so happy they’ve come into my life.

G family, thank you for making me smile. For making me love my job and love my role in my own family. You guys are something special, and you’re so lucky to have one another. xoxo
