Usually there are tears. Often, we’re laughing so hard, we’re crying. Other times, a different kinds of tears – some grateful and some painful. So much has happened.
This journey started years and years ago when I photographed Brian’s amazing grandparents as they approached their 90’s, having been married for 63 years. The minute I spent time with this family, they became treasured friends.
Since then, I’ve watched them make so many life changes. I’ve said goodbye as they moved away. Welcomed their return back to town. Photographed several members of their families who have since passed. Watched their relentlessly delightful kids grow up.
Everything changes. Brian and Alyssa have stayed the same but their kids? Not so much! 😂
This session was a celebration after some heavy life losses. Like all my time spent with the Lindstroms, I drove home with a full heart.
