I love the internet. It brings people together and provides a way for those who haven’t seen one another in years to reconnect. That’s what happened this past weekend when I met up with this beautiful family. By a small twist of fate {C} was jumping online to research family photographers as a Father’s Day present for her husband last June. But before she began her search she popped on facebook, only to find one of my advertisements. Turns out that I worked as a college intern for {C} years back when she was pregnant with her son. I worked with her after graduation and hadn’t seen her since I left to stay home with my son. What an amazingly small world, made even smaller by the world wide web.
I was so excited to meet up with {C} and to see her kids again–the last time I saw {N} he was four years old. And seriously, what a beautiful family they have become.
This next image has to be my favorite father / daughter photograph I have taken. It was actually not even posed and I love how natural it feels–you can really see the special connection that fathers have with their daughters here.
And this next image is another one for the gallery. 
{C} thank you so much for the opportunity to take your family’s portraits. It was so good to see you after all these years! I have many, many more images to come in your online gallery later this week. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!
