I loved everything about this session! The magical light, sweet Rylee and her mom, and the feeling of collaboration to capture a milestone moment in time. Rylee doesn’t always like to smile in photos, so I loved watching her beautiful smile emerge more and more. There’s something that feels triumphant about watching a person leaving a photo session feeling more beautiful, confident and empowered than when they arrived. The icing on the cake was when her big sister, who is stationed in the Air Force, happened to call Mom toward the end of the session. When Mom turned her phone around to show her Rylee having her photos taken, she started crying and saying how beautiful she looked. Soon there were tears all around. Such a sweet moment that I was happy to witness and share❤
