A few weeks ago I met Kirsten and her husband for a sunrise session at one of the best gulf coast locations… Pensacola Beach. I never grow tired of these sunrises. It took us some time to wake up from the early alarm clock, but when we did… we made sure we got some amazing shots (WITH AMAZING CLOUDS IN THE BACKGROUND)! These two reminded me of when I first met my husband.. when I was “shooting” this beautiful mommy-t0-be, she was so serene and content. When her husband came into the photos with her, I saw a new light come to life in her. It reminded me of what marriage is in my eyes, not necessarily “completing” one another, but bringing out the best in one another day by day; complementing each other’s unique qualities that together, make a beautiful marriage. It really was a joy to capture the moments these two shared during this morning.
FUN FACT: As we were leaving to get our last few images, they retrieved a chalk board from their bag, where they proceeded to write their future daughter’s name. It took me some time to actually notice the name they had written down because I was “clicking” away. I soon realized the chalk board read, “Kallie.” I excitedly yelled, “That’s my name!” They laughed at me and told me that they had been debating three names, but after they met me, they took it as a sign and decided to go with one of the names they were debating.. KALLIE! How awesome is that? I love these awesome stories, and how God can bring us all together in these ways. Here are a few of my favorites from their session… ENJOY!
