I had a family session last Saturday that was very near and dear to me.
When I found out I was expecting my son (in January of 08), I found an 'expecting club' online with many ladies who were also due in September of 2008. After we all had our babies, we turned into an online 'playgroup.' Many of us have "known" each other for over 3 years.
Nikki and I first began our online friendship when we were both trying to complete Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. Nikki finished out the 30 days and her results were awe-inspiring! I didn't get much past week two. (Boo to me!).
Then, when I started my photography business and needed things designed, I went to Nikki for help. She has her own designing business, Inspired By An Angel Designs. She helped me so much, and even more, she put up with my nit-picky-ness better than probably anyone else would have!
Last Christmas we were both swamped; me with family Christmas Sessions, and her with many Christmas card orders. Many nights we spend online chatting while we were up to midnight or later working to get things done in a timely fashion for our clients. This is when we really realized how much we had in common. At times, it seemed eerie how alike we are!
Fast forward to last week, and Nikki and I finally got to meet face to face for the first time! Her family came out to Boston for their photo session and just to visit. It was such a pleasure both meeting her beautiful family, but also photographing them. It was a cloudy day so I shot a little earlier than I usually do. These kids gave me a work-out! I had sore legs the next day from all my squats! Here are just a few of my favorites from our session together:
