Whitney, a 2010 Blush bride, gave her mother Lori a fun birthday gift this year— a mother – daughter session. Photographing this duet was just so fascinating. In one sitting, I literally saw the snapshots of their lifetime together unfold. I photographed the small kisses mama Lori gave Whitney as a toddler. I captured the tight hugs that a now very grown-up Whitney gives to Lori on visits home from college. It is such an interesting time in both of their lives as they plan this wedding together.
It’s funny, Lori and Whit also happen to be very dear friends of mine so our session was just hysterical! This tends to happen when you know your subjects well… no one can stop laughing. But this quiet image really spoke to me about their mother – daughter bond. Thanks Lori and Whitney! Love you! Can’t wait for you to see the rest! Super job!
If you are interested in gifting a portrait for Mother’s Day, I’d love to do more! Just send me an email.
I received this beautiful letter today from one of our favorite 2009 grooms, Kevin. After Hillary and Kevin’s Bar Harbor wedding last year, the couple sent Brian, their Blush Imagery associate photographer, several wonderful thank you notes about the fine job he did. We don’t always know the impact of our work but we know that the images we capture certainly matter to the families whose moments they depict. This letter from Kevin – just 6 months later about his grandparents - is both humbling and touching. When the work gets hard and the weekends get long, this is why myself and my associate photographers here at Blush are so proud to be wedding photographers:
Dear Beth and Brian,
So it has been a little over six months since our wedding which is a little hard to believe but we have been all over the place since the end of August. I felt like I should send you all a little note of thanks. Brian worked incredibly hard to be everywhere for us on our wedding day including running through the rain back and forth to make sure he got all the shots of Hillary getting ready and honoring a few of my requests. There were a few pictures he took of me getting dressed with my dad and grandfather that I really wanted. Grandpa wasn’t there too long but Brian caught some great moments that came out great. There were also a few moments just before the ceremony that he caught with my grandmother and I. Four weeks ago my grandfather passed at the home they lived in for 60 years. This past Saturday 4 weeks to the day my grandmother passed in the same house. I guess after 63 years together they weren’t willing to be apart for too long. Our wedding day was the last time I saw them and those pictures are the last I have with some truly inspirational, funny and dedicated grandparents. Thanks for taking the time to capture those moments. I will keep those pictures with me for the rest of my life and I am truly appreciative of all your hard work. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Kevin Steenberge
