Both Woodrow the dog and his human brother, Wyatt, are beyond adorable. Wyatt smiled from the minute I walked up to him for easily over an hour plus. You can’t beat a wonderful family, a very happy little boy with dimples, and a just-groomed easygoing dog. It was great to meet all of you!!
What this sweet family didn’t know when we met up was what a stressful two weeks I had up until that point. My dad was suddenly put in the hospital with lots of tests being run. He’s my mother’s primary caretaker at home so without him there I was running thin trying to either stay there to help care for her, run to the hospital to be there for his tests, shop for everything they needed, and try to hire more help to cover 24-hrs a day.
That particular day I had spent the majority of it interviewing people and running around. I was worried about how I would be able to perform as a photographer, especially with young children. I always want it to be fun for them but didn’t know if I had it in me or how it would go. In the beginning their son wasn’t into taking pictures and I really hoped that I could turn it around. By the end of it I was having fun and I’m pretty sure the kiddos were too! I drove away and thought that their session had completely lifted me out of the funk I had been in. I smiled on the way home and was so thankful that I had their family, on that day.
So, thank you Pope Family for meeting up with me and for being you. And especially for the sweet words Mr. D said to me when we were saying goodbye. 🙂
I’ve watched these crazy girls grow up and I love them! When we get together it’s not a photo session…it’s a date! And I can’t show up to the date by myself or I’m in a lot of trouble. They want at least one of my girls to come play too. I’ve always admired their mom for many reasons but especially because she lets them express who they are and encourages them to try things. This year they brought skateboards to ride and they always bring a prop to use in the pictures where they write the grade that they’re in in their own handwriting.
I had a blast with you guys As Always!
