My Greatest Gift

I just got home from Waco

where I met one of my dearest friends.

I only see her once or, at best, twice a year

because she moved half way across the world.

I try my best to wait patiently each year

for our fun filled, full of giggles... Summer Visits.

She is also a photographer nerd....

(the term we have affectionately given ourselves)

We can sit for hours and talk about lighting, photoshop,

and our new favorite techniques....

I can say without a doubt that she

is the ONLY person in the entire world

who truly understands my philosophy

of what a photograph should be.

The #1 goal was to capture emotion...

and everything else is a far off second place

So... this year I asked her to please take

my yearly photograph with Brady.

I knew the exact look I wanted and knew

that she was the gal who could capture it.

This was the RESULT...

No amount of money can ever buy or replace this moment.

She knew my heart so very well

and knew just what I wanted...

and man oh man did she ever catch it.

I will have more of our shoot to share later in the week.

May we always understand that most anyone

can take a photograph....

but only a few can capture a memory.

Thank you Sherry !
