I love how Nikki described the portrait collection that she chose to display from this session. Her exact words were “This is it. This is THE collection. This will be the wall that I sit in front of on the days when they go off to college and I will cry because of how hard it was and how FUN it all was.” I LOVE LOVE LOVE that. Because, yes, it is stinkin’ HARD to be a parent. To be a momma. But it is so unbelievably fun and rewarding too, right? More fun and more love than anyone could ever possibly prepare you for. Yes, your heart walks around outside of your body when you become a momma. You love so hard that it hurts. The best kind of hurt. Nikki, Collin and I are so glad that you had this session done! You are all four beautiful!
These are wonderful! Yes, being a mama is the hardest job in the world. When you’re preparing them to leave the nest, you think it will be easier but even though they are all grown up and responsible for their own lives, it is hard. I never dreamed how hard it would be when they marry and have children.
