Her generous offer made me cry. It reminded me of what life was like this time last year, how very reluctant I was to have any pictures taken of me (unless of course I was using snap chat to take a flattering selfie). How unsure I was of myself in my own skin, and the uncertainty that plagued the future.
As I described in my last post, last year was the first time since Tommy was born that we didn't have Christmas Pictures taken. Pictures are permanent memories captured forever, last year I just wasn't up to it.
When Cheryl offered to take our families pictures this year I absolutely jumped at the chance.
The process was seamless and so much fun. Cheryl made all of us laugh and captured some truly beautiful moments. It only took her three days to edit all of the photos, she sent me the first few as she finished them. Each image brought tears to my eyes. There was a time that I would have criticized every aspect of myself in a picture. When I looked at these I was overwhelmed with the joy of seeing bright, beautiful smiles on my family's faces. Each one of the pictures is absolutely breathtaking, I was completely spellbound by her talent.
Then she sent me a video that she created from the photographs that she took. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and I wanted to share it with you.
Thank you all for your love and support. Thank you for your words of wisdom and encouragement. Most of all, thank you for loving and supporting me.
