I knew the sparks were gonna fly for this session when Liz contacted me in mid-April to schedule a family session for fall – yes, for fall – she’d clearly done her research & I love it! :) Their youngest had just recently arrived at that point & she knew she wanted photographs of the whole family here in Alaska. You see, their story is a little different than it might be for some of us. They already know they will only be stationed in Alaska for a short time & after arriving late last fall, she knew that an Alaskan fall photo session, celebrating their time here as a family, was the only way. I couldn’t agree more.

What started as a conversation on wall art & digital collections, quickly turned into how to make this happen – how to celebrate this time in their lives & ‘capture it on film’ forever. And with that, I was given the privilege to photograph Sydney, Isaac, Baby Michael & their parents. It only made sense to showcase their love of life, their love of family togetherness, their love of the outdoors and yes, their amazing energy as well ;) I hope you enjoy their session showcase as much as I did!

(And don’t forget to stop back by Friday for a few more images + Liz’s take on how she dressed her crew! I asked her if she’d take a minute & write something to share as really, she did a fabulous job & definitely had a ‘make it work’ moment :) )

‘a child’s mind is moulded by four’

It’s important that you remember …

***

The Hand Holders:
A Tribute To Caregivers

There is no job more important than yours,

no job anywhere in the land.

You are the keepers of the future;

you hold the smallest of hands.

Into your care you are trusted
to nurture and care for the young,
and for all of your everyday heroics,
your talents and skills go unsung.

You wipe tears from the eyes of the injured.
You rock babies brand new in your arms.
You encourage the shy and unsure child.
You make sure they are safe from all harm.

You foster the bonds of friendships,
letting no child go away mad.
You respect and you honour their emotions.
You give hugs to each child when they’re sad.

You have more impact than does a professor,
a child’s mind is moulded by four;
so whatever you lay on the table
is whatever the child will explore.

Give each child the tools for adventure,
let them be artists and writers and more;
let them fly on the wind and dance on the stars
and build castles of sand on the shore.

It is true that you don’t make much money
and you don’t get a whole lot of praise,
but when one small child says “I love you”,
you’re reminded of how this job pays.

I work with moms of all walks of life. Some who are holding down the fort while dad is away, serving our country. Others who are the sole provider, caregiver & parent. Others who work part time, full time, inside the home, outside the home.

This is for you. All of you.

Don’t ever forget how important you are.
