On a Sunday afternoon in June, I got to visit Hallie + Cory in their hometown to photograph their sweet new baby boy. When I think of the homes my job lets me in and the families I get to know, the only word that feels right is privilege. It’s such a privilege to watch families like this little one journey from fiances, to husband and wife, to mom and dad. It’s a privilege to be invited into such a sacred space time and time again. It’s a privilege to be the one taking the photos that introduce a new life into the world.
It’s a privilege to be invited in.
