ISABELLE & GRAHAM: WEDDING

I just love a good story.  Especially one that weaves through our lives in unexpected ways!

Let’s jump back nearly eight years.  I was just trying my hand at photography back then when my husband walked down the stairs of our townhouse one evening and said “Gen, you got an email…your very first email!”  I looked back at him with confusion.  “Are you sure?” I asked.  “Absolutely” he replied “congratulations”.

Now, getting an email in and of itself isn’t really that big of a deal.  But just a couple of days earlier, we had a made a website. My very first website.  With bright pink font all over it and a couple of photos I had recently taken.  We’d set up an email account and had some business cards made.  It was the tiniest step in something that felt really huge…really far away…really out of reach.

But I got an email.  An actual email.  From an actual person other than my mom!!

So I ran up the stairs and read through it with more excitement than I could handle.  It was an inquiry about doing some family photos and after a couple of exchanges, it also became my first official booking as a photographer!  I photographed this amazing family of eight while I was pregnant with my son and instantly made new friends!

I have since had members of that first family shoot in front of my camera six more times!!  We’ve added extended family members two more times.  And now we have a beautiful wedding to add to the list!!!

There’s just something amazing about coming back to where you started…about holding on to the people that helped you get there.  It’s the kind of reminder that I love best and the kind of people I enjoy the most.

Isabelle and Graham, thank you for keeping me in the family!!!
