Back in August I met up with this family for the 3rd time to capture their family photos. It's not only fun to see their family grow throughout the years, because I would get to see that regardless, but to see my own growth as I take their images each time.
I've know Sierra since I moved to York in middle school. There was a period after high school where we didn't keep in touch, but it is so amazing how life works out and how someone re-enters your life and becomes such an important part of it. We have go to see each others families grow. We get to celebrate birthdays together. We make each other laugh...though I'm pretty sure that Sierra is the one that keeps us laughing. We get to do life together.
I'm almost positive that Sierra was the first person I ever mentioned the idea of pursuing photography too. She didn't laugh at me or tell me I was crazy or that I had really no clue what I was doing at the time. She told me that is was awesome and she supported me. And she continues to support me to this day. Having those people in your life is important. The people that believe in you before you are really ready to believe in yourself. If you have one of those people in your life...hold tight to them. And also, make sure they know it! Like maybe write a blog about it or something ;)
