Hettervig Family/Extended Family Session/ Oregon City, Oregon Photographer

"Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And I'm glad you feel the same
Cause to stand up, out in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so
Lets watch the flowers grow"

Travis- "Watch the Flowers Grow"

I had such a delightful afternoon with Cheryl and her family.  The grounds were absolutely stunning, the weather was sunny and warm as is Cheryl and her family.  They welcomed me like an old family friend. Frankly, I didn't want to leave. I just wanted to keep photographing them and chatting.  They are genuine, chill, funny people. The kind that you want to BBQ with. 

The little man of the family is such a character with a happy spirit. He is the one that first showed me how funny my squeaky booty is. If you do not know what my squeaky booty is, well, you should just see me in action. 

At the end of the session I was gifted with some deliciously ripe tomatoes, cucumbers and corn from the Hettervig garden. Mr. Hettervig thoughtfully picked them out for me. When I came home, my eldest son was in heaven. He loves cucumbers and eats them like an apple. 

You know, just thinking of them reminds me that a little thoughtfulness and kindness goes a long way. Being welcomed to the Hettervig home, trusting me with capturing their family, picking veggies special for me and enough for me to share with my family made me feel like I am apart of a community and that I am cared for even though they had just met me. Each one of them showed me kindness and it made me feel good. Not for just the day, but when I think of that day and this family, a smile comes to my heart. 

Thank you Cheryl and family for letting me be apart of your day! Go forth and rock on!!

Words cannot express the delight it brings me when I am chosen again to photograph a family/special time. Seriously, it makes my month.....my year. I had the pleasure of photographing the Gabler family last January and it was so great to see them again and to capture this fun family! I consider them apart of the Nanci Imagery family. 

The last time that I photographed this sweet family the youngest kiddo was a newborn and Miss C was 9 months old. Well, the day before our session, Miss C celebrated her 2nd birthday! I love seeing my families growing up. It is such a joy for me! 

We are a family like a giant tree branching out the sky
We are a family, we are so much more than just you and I
We are a family like a giant tree
Growing stronger, growing wiser, we are growing free
We need you, we are a family
-"Family" - From Dreamgirls

Until next time Gabler family!

Her favorite thing to do was to pick the flowers. She was so sweet. She picked a few for me too.

Now her big brother on the other hand did not love the camera but he did love blowing Dandelions "lion's tooth'.  And I just love how he has a stick. Kids plus sticks immediately brings in the fun!
