I didn’t realize it was her birthday until a few hours ago! I typically text her after her 5 am workout but of course she didn’t say a word about HER special day during that text exchange. But, if you know Michelle, you aren’t surprised at all by that.
Almost a decade in this business and I’ve met LOTS of moms. Some of them have become dear friends because let’s be honest, I see them more than they see their extended family in some cases. Especially those who have hired me to photograph all of their sweet babies during the first year and beyond. Presley came first, then Stevie Rose, and then baby boy Alston. I’ve captured their life in many parks, by the water bunches, two homes, the hospital twice, a baptism, grandparents home, and even at their beloved PopPop’s home right before he passed away. We’ve journeyed together through a lot. It’s a walk I do with lots of moms and it’s a walk I treasure.
So, on this day, in honor of one of my dearest clients and friends, I want to wish Michelle a very Happy BIRTHDAY! She is a true treasure to all who know her. Kicks butt working full time, loves her funny hubby with everything she’s got, and cares for her children something fierce. She is beautiful from deep down to her core. One of the most beautiful women I know.
Happy Birthday, my dear friend! I have loved watching you all grow these many years. But, I have a feeling this is going to be your best year yet!
All my love, SR
Kelly - Beautiful as always Sara! I love seeing you blog again!!!
