Some families start out as clients… and then, without even realizing it, they turn into your people. The Foret family is absolutely one of those for me. I’ve been photographing them since Crew — the little guy — was just 6 months old, and watching him grow into the sweet, confident boy he is today has been one of my greatest joys as a photographer. But let’s talk about big sister Corafor a minute, because our story started out just a tiny bit rocky… in the best way. At their very first session, Cora was a sweet little 2-year-old, and I was doing what I do — trying to gently help her get comfortable on mom’s lap. What I didn’t realize in that moment was that Cora was not ready for a photographer to get handsy with her right off the bat. I immediately offended her, and our friendship had a very rough start 😅 A good reminder that sometimes kids need a minute… or ten… before warming up! Fast forward to now, and Cora is one of my little besties. Watching her confidence grow, seeing her personality shine, and knowing she feels safe and comfortable in front of my camera means the world to me. Sessions with the Foret family never feel like “just” a photo session. They feel like a hangout. We catch up on life, laugh, update each other on what’s new, and somewhere in between all that — we create beautiful images that freeze time for just a moment. That’s one of my favorite parts of what I do: building relationships that grow alongside your families. Getting to document not just how your kids look, but who they are becoming.
