an afternoon with colie | MN family + lifestyle photography

I talk often about how blessed I am – how lucky I feel to be able to make images for people, to document such miraculous and wonderful and amazing moments in their lives. As trivial or trite or contrived as it all might start to sound, I truly mean it. I AM so lucky. I am thankful for photography partly because of what it does for my soul, but mostly for what it allows me to do for others.

These images become our legacies. Someday, they will all be old photographs. They will outlive us.

Last Saturday I spent a few hours with my friends Cortney and Trent, and their five week old little girl Colie. My uterus contracted, tears welled up in my eyes a time or two, and I made a few photographs for two people who just became a family of three. And with every single click of the shutter I became more and more convinced that what I am doing with my life – where it is that I am right this moment – is exactly where I was created to be.
