How do you start a post about someone you have adored for so many reasons and for sooo many years? This beautiful mama and I go way back. We spent many years in school together, as she was a grade below me, but were never in the same classes. In fact, I didn't really even know Allie until after we graduated high school. I only knew of her because there was a local company in our town with the same last name as her called, Whiting Door.
It wasn't for a few years out of high school that I got to know this incredibly beautiful, smart, delightful, and savvy woman of God. She was a mutual friend of mine, named Krista who hosted a bible study at her parent's house in 2013 and 2014. It was there that we formed a great bond. Our time together is always easy, uplifting, and full of laughter!
When Ralph and I moved into our first house, her younger brother and I were neighbors. God just kept intersecting our lives. Over the years, I have had the privilege of attending Allie and Eric's wedding and taking photos of her and her newborn son, Tucker (https://www.courtneycampbell.net/post/baby-tucker).
Over the summer, we tried booking a family session, but couldn't get our schedules lined up. When I was considering going back to Western New York for Fall sessions, she was one of the first people I informed. In between our hectic schedules, we managed to squeeze in a shorter session at dusk at Akron Falls Park; a place we both grew up around.
Every time I do photography work, I am both humbled and honored to be chosen. It is not an easy thing to be the one in front of the camera. The Satellbergs not only did great, but were delightful. I had fun bantering with them and bringing everyone at ease for this session.
How precious are these moment's captured in just forty minutes??
I love when little moments like this happen, too. They are the kind that Allie will appreciate were caught years down the road.
If you're interested in a session, go to my contact page, and let's chat! :)
