Trufant Family 2011

I just finished meeting with my now new, good friend; Abbey to show her their images for the first time.  What a blessing and an honor it was to have captured their family photos.  When I first spoke with Abbey my initial thought was, how sweet and friendly she was and I couldn't wait to actually meet her in person.  When they arrived for the shoot I was introduced to her 3 month old son, Landon Scott. . . (for those that do not know me, that is my son's name - CRAZY) and her extremely kind, smiley husband Travis.  Absolutely stunning family!  The love in the room was overflowing.  I love to see families draw so close together through one of God's creations. We quickly got the traditional pose out of the way, then went right into the fun stuff.

Travis did such a great job keeping Landon smiling.  You would never guess but the only way we could get Landon to laugh was when Travis would tickle Landon's neck with his mouth.  Travis would then quickly get into position hoping that Landon would keep his smile on.  Loved watching the connections between Travis and Landon, Abbey and Landon (as Travis watched lovingly), and Abbey and Travis.

My goal for most of my shoots is artsy, elegance with emotion.  I saw the approval as Abbey watched the images one after another through teary eyes (could just be the hormones though).

_ It absolutely warms my heart to know they will have these memories for a lifetime.  I truly feel as if this is the start of a great friendship.  Thank you for allowing me to be part of these wonderful memories.
