It was not quite four short - yet simultaneously SUPER long (that parenting paradox) - years ago when I first met your wee family. Dashing and kooky Mister Sullivan was brand new and Willow Baby Studios was pretty new too. I remember arriving at your old apartment in Somerville, in my oh-so-janky car, nervous and desperately wanting to a do a good job for you. R came down to help me unload my warehouse of stuff (which was made more difficult by the fact that my car only had one working rear door) and when I pulled out a suitcase of props the latches weren't closed and it burst opened, spilling wraps and teensy hats onto the street. So *that* helped me feel more professional!
And then we lugged everything upstairs and I saw THE BEST NURSERY EVER and I thanked the photo gods for such fabulous clients.
I've been admiring your amazing sense of style and design ever since, K. (White piano below being just one such example).
(HOW PERFECT is that little finger??? I can't stand it!)
Years later, you've become dear friends, and I count myself so lucky to have a job where I get to capture the Amazing Design Amidst Chaos (A.D.A.C) of your awesome family.
*A family of four, about four years since we've met, and four outfit changes for your little Star.
Thanks for being a Willow Baby Family. I adore you all!
