Folsom Lake Sunset Family Portraits

SUNSET ON FOLSOM LAKE WITH THE HAGERS

This session is as close to home as it gets for me. Nicole is a most beloved childhood girlfriend and her husband Jeremy has come to be very dear to me as well. As Sophomores in the height of our closeness Nicole’s dad got transferred to Oklahoma and we were positive life was over. It was the first time a significant change had entered my young life and all at once my sweet buddy was gone. We began writing letters and spending 2 weeks each summer together until we grew up and adult life began. Oddly… even though we were miles apart we began to get closer and closer. We talk on the phone often, were both in each others weddings and now once a year we meet in a different part of the US to work together (both photographers)! But before all that.. my photography business had begun growing here in California and half way across the states Nicole and Jeremy were going through the gamut of trials and tribulations to begin their family. After years of tests, treatments, lose, extraordinary expenses and adoption madness, their phone rang. A baby boy had just been born and was in need of a Mom and Dad. They hung up the phone, drove several hours to the hospital, met their new son and within a short three day period they arrived back home as a small perfect family. Finally, everything made sense and their life had begun again. Their son Jax is breathtaking and mean that in a literal sense, when she sent the first Jax pic to me I gasped! He literally took my breath away… I mean look at him! Look at his beautiful, bright, perfect face and his big blue eyes! Even through the screen of my phone and hundreds miles away I could feel how special he was and how happy he had made my dear friends. He is clearly the reason nothing else worked for them and is exactly where he was designed to be. Thank you Nicole, Jeremy and Jax for allowing me to spend the evening with you in the sun on the beach right here where Nicole and I became friends. N.A.M.A.H.E.F. (you had to be there…)
