The Hillyer family and I go way back. I think I have known Dustin since Ramay Junior High and Eleta since we were learning flute together in the band. (She was ALWAYS soo much better than I was. She was first chair...I was last chair. I harbor no ill-will. Promise!). And decades later...They fall in love, get married and I got the chance to visit them at their home and photograph their new baby boy, Jaxson. How cute is he?! And such a trooper! He stood the test of time and let me snap pictures for a solid two hours.
But the time flew by as we photographed the little man, and his proud parents. They each had their moments of getting to be in the spot light with their newest shining star. The love was thick in that house.
We did some shots inside with the whole set up and that was fun. They were willing to let me test-run my swaddling wraps on little Jax (PS...I still have a lot to learn) and I got to try out a few new props. Because, let's be honest. Who wouldn't LOVE to see a baby in an antique suitcase. Who's with me?! Really...
This morning was so much fun. Catching up was great. Hearing about the crazy B&N gossip was mind-blowing and getting promised a hookup for my classroom was outstanding! It was everything I could have dreamed of...and I got to photograph a lovely family. I truly couldn't be happier for the whole Hillyer clan as they finally start to get all the joy and blessings they so richly deserve. Many blessings upon this family as they start their growing brood. Hopefully I will be back soon to photograph the next installment to their family.
