Here at Rich Imaging it is important to Judy and I to partner with causes and organizations that we believe in.
One of those organizations we believe in is the La Leche League (LLL). One reason that we’re supportive of LLL is that we’ve been grateful recipients of their help in the past, especially when our first baby, Eliza, was born.
Every year LLL helps thousands of women to breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information, and education, and to promote a better understanding of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of the baby and mother. For more info or to find a local group in your area you can visit their website at www.llli.org.
So, what does that have to do with this post? Well I’m glad you asked!
Last summer the local LLL had an event that resembled a family fair with tons of local vendors showing up to strut their stuff. Part of the fair was a silent auction and we donated a couple of sessions. Carly, Matt, and Natalie won one of those sessions and thought yesterday would be a good time to redeem it.
Talking on the phone and over email, Carly and Matt seemed like really nice people. After arriving at their home for the in-home photo session I realized they are great people. They even gave us cookies when we were all done!
Natalie was such a good little girl. We only had to give her a break for a few minutes to recuperate through the entire session. And she was still smiling afterwords! We had a lot of fun with everyone and came away with many, many good images. We actually had so many great shots that I had a very difficult time deciding which to post here on the blog. It doesn’t help that Natalie is one of the cutest little girls ever! Take a look below and see what I mean!
(By the way, Matt and Carly have are in the home remodeling business. So, if you need something done you should get in contact with them. You can see some examples of their work here.)
I hope it doesn’t threaten my manhood too much to say this, but I love this little dress! It’s very charming on her. I think it reminds me of something from the Victorian era, but I’m not sure. It’s stinking adorable!
I think this picture really captures Natalie’s spirit. She’s so playful and easy-going. She really was very much fun to work with!
Matt and Carly, thanks for inviting us into your home and letting us create these images. You are wonderful parents and your love for each other and Natalie is obviously very strong. May your family and business be very blessed and may you enjoy every moment with your treasure of a little girl!
Cheers,
-Mark
Mark, I think you are a very talented photographer. It is not easy to capture us babies in the right moment, but you showed a lot of patience with me during the session, had the right set up (at least that’s what my dad said) and pressed the shutter just at the right time when I looked soooo cute! I hope Judah thinks I look cute, too. Maybe I’ll ask him one day myself. And hopefully he won’t remember the little mess I made on the carpet
