I came across this Mercedes Benz ad recently.
My immediate thought was Brian (my husband) vs. Me. We are close to complete opposites. Sometimes it bothers me when he doesn’t like the same things I do (movies, music, foods, hobbies, etc…) But then I’m reminded of all the times we have complimented one another with our opposite personalities, mostly during important decision making situations. Or when one of us is going through a rough time, we truly complement each other well, by the grace of God. Romance, hobbies & similarities won’t outlast the foundation of our marriage: Faith in God. This ad is still fun to look at. It kinda made me giggle because Brian and I often joke about our differences. He’s such an analyzer, calculator, master of words, logical and strategic one. I’m more of the “feeler” and “sound of roaring laughter”. I can sometimes teeter on the edge of being a left brain (I categorize, I like order, I’m pretty type-A), but now that I’m married to one I am free to relinquish that role to him and embrace my right brained-ness

Meet beautiful little Cameron, and her big brother Elliot. Let me start off by saying this is one of my favorite families and I was SO excited to photograph them. Elliot reminds me a lot of myself when I was little. Emily and Clay are so laid back and I love watching their family dynamic. We giggled at Elliot throughout the shoot and awed at little miss Cameron, while their two big labs barked in the background because they too wanted to be included.
Cameron has such a special story already. Just as any newborn is a miracle, Cameron is a special miracle. Clay and Emily knew before she was born that she would need special medical treatment for her heart. Just 7 days after she was born she had open heart surgery. It is evident that Emily and Clay have really pressed into the Lord and leaned on him through all of this. Even though the doctors have told them one thing, they are trusting in the Lord for a different path. It’s so comforting to see just how big their faith is; what a testament to the Lord’s amazing grace. I truly believe that the Lord has His hand in this and has already performed several miracles and I have faith that He can bless them with many more. Cameron is safe at home with her family and doing very well. She is such a good baby and was so sweet during our time together.

This shoot was so much fun. Not only did I get to shoot one of my favorite little kids, Elliot, but I got to photograph his new baby sister, Cameron. She’s quite the miracle (as is any newborn), but she’s got a very special story. When she was just barely a week old she had open heart surgery. Her parents are strong believers and it’s evident in Cameron’s life so far that God is in control and has extended His amazing grace.
Here’s a quick sneak peek from the shoot. More to come soon!
