I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.<\/p>\n

This session is one of those instances where I was meant to be their photographer.<\/p>\n

No one else.<\/p>\n

It started with a phone call coming in into my landline. \u00a0I don’t answer the landline anymore.<\/p>\n

It’s actually hooked to a fax machine and the main ringer turned off so I rarely even hear it anymore.<\/p>\n

When I do hear it – I ignore it – except this time. \u00a0It was meant to be.<\/p>\n

The call was from this mom – saying Cori<\/a>\u00a0had sent her to me (thanks, Cori). \u00a0That she had already had another photographer picked out<\/p>\n

for the job – but was calling me just because. \u00a0It was meant to be.<\/p>\n

She told me that she was almost 40 and her only child, a son, is 9 (instant chills – my exact story in 2 years). \u00a0It was meant to be.<\/p>\n

She wanted me to capture her and her son – their friendship, their laughter, their love – as her<\/p>\n

40th birthday present to herself. \u00a0 I’m almost in tears. \u00a0It was meant to be.<\/p>\n

I assured her she came to the right place. \u00a0I WAS the photographer for her. \u00a0I wanted this for her<\/p>\n

as much as I would want this for myself.<\/p>\n

It was awesome. \u00a0Everything I could want it to be.<\/p>\n

The weather was perfect. \u00a0The tide was perfect. \u00a0The North End was gorgeous.<\/p>\n

Their relationship…………….much like mine and my sons. \u00a0I’m doing this for me one day, soon.<\/p>\n

It was meant to be.<\/p>\n
