An Annual Portrait Tradition

There is this extra cozy feeling I get when I get to see my annual clients; it’s one of the best feelings ever.
Seeing (like taking my time and really seeing) someone once a year is such a unique (and seriously cool) experience. The “little” changes never feel little when they hit you all at once.
This job is a front row seat to how quickly life changes, and it’s my favorite thing to learn & appreciate over and over again.
I get together with the Hess family every year at about this time. As I was taking a quick little walk down memory lane, I had to make some collages of the “over the years” so that you all could enjoy the reality check of time (and Miss M) flying too.
Dear Hess Fam - I truly enjoy our flower adventures and post shoot selfies together. Watching your family grow up is really fun. I think it’s really amazing that you (the Emily in these photos) take the time and energy to include your extended family members in your portraits. I can’t wait to try to keep up with Miss M next year.
