I’ve photographed several families for years – every fall or every summer. I love them. All of them.<\/p>\n

Nicole & Dustin are clients that I’ve seen at least once every three months (with a few exceptions) for the last three years. Nicole has become a GREAT friend! I can’t explain how blessed we are to have them in our lives!<\/p>\n

When *G* was born in February – Dustin was unable to be there (he was serving our country overseas) and I was SO sad when my horrible cold (or whatever it was) didn’t go away in time to be there. Thankfully – Bridget Reed (who did our birth photography with Fitzgerald) was able to be there! Check out their beautiful birth session<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Nicole asked me about coming to the airport to photograph Dustin’s homecoming – we discovered it would most likely be while I was on vacation. SERIOUSLY!? Bridget was put back on stand by – just in case. By the way – Bridget – I am SO thankful that you and I have a great relationship when it comes to our clients and our businesses in general. Thank you so much for that!<\/p>\n

Surprisingly – I was able to be there!<\/p>\n
