… because my clients make me cry sometimes.
And no, not in a scary way – but in a beautiful, heartfelt, the-world-is-a-beautiful-place sort of way.
This is what I mean:
Hey Kristen,
Just wanted to say thank you ever so much for our session. We’ve been once again raving about you ever since.
You really are so good with our baby girl. You’re not only a natural at photography, but you really are a natural mother too. That’s why we love you so much. You treat our little munchkin like she was your own.
We’ve had our ‘newborn shots’ on our digital frame since December last year! We’re absolutely hangin’ to put Edition 2 photos up there! I cant tell you how many people come over here and just stop dead in their tracks and literally dont move from the same spot in front of that frame we have and just stare in awe at your work. And we get a lot of people coming through!!!
Thanks so so much again for everything. No words can express how much we respect and adore you.
We’ve only just come out of this session and already I cant wait for our next session with you!
Cant wait to hear from you,
xx
Yes I am pregnant, and yes I am hormonal, but regardless of that it’s emails like these from clients that give me such joy to be doing what I do. I make no secret of the fact that I fall in love with each and every one of the children I have the good fortune to photograph, and Charlotte was certainly no exception. I remember her newborn photography session like it was yesterday – even what the weather was like and the fact that my clumsy feet broke the glass I had been drinking out of during the session at their home just as I was finishing up (errmmm… yeah.. still SO sorry about that!!). So seeing her again for a beautiful update session was just the icing on the cake for me – it’s an immense privilege to be asked to photograph someone’s family regardless, but to have a family come back for more means that I get to watch these beautiful souls grow up in front of my camera. Seriously…. how special is that??!
So, Angie – you haven’t even seen your images yet from ‘Edition 2′ (which makes that email even more special for me) but hopefully these will tide you over until your full gallery is ready (blog stalkers may recognise Charlotte below from her newborn session I did last year here).
Check out those to die for gorgeous baby fat rolls on her… LOVE!

Kristen, you deserve all of those compliments and more. You’re an amazing photographer and such an inspiration for everyone.
I would stop dead in my tracks too. I love your work!
I still stop and stare at the photos of my boys that you took last year every single time I walk into the house. We have them on display just in side the front door. Your work is amazing and you’re very deserving of such beautiful words.
My only disappointment… that my next baby will arrive after you have your’s and because you’ll be on a work break too, I won’t be able to have you back to take photos of my growing family.
what a gorgeous little girl, and a lovely email you have received Kristen, so well deserved. These images will wow their visitors again I am sure
What a beautiful email!
Kristen you are a wonderful photographer, i’m always left in awe when I visit your blog. These baby shots are no exception, she is gorgeous!
Kristen, what a lovely email. But so well deserved. Your images are so perfect and not just because of your subjects. I love looking through your work. It’s very inspirational.
How cute is her little scrunched up nose/face in that first shot!? These are simply devine Kristen, fabulous light!!
Hi again Kristen! Yes, you absolutely DO deserve every word i’ve said in that email! You’ve further prooved it with the above three gorgeous photos of my princess! That first one is my absolute favourite photo i’ve seen of her! You’ve captured that expression she does when she’s in a really happy but cheeky mood! Love it! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
wow that last photo is just perfect!!!!
