The first time I met Carrie, I LOVED her.
Like, I went home and gushed to Andrew that I had just met with an amazing bride and that I really, really wanted her to book me for her wedding. And y’all?! SHE DID!
Four years later, Carrie and Mitchell have the most adorable daughter on the planet (those cheeks!! those legs!!) and, in May, I got to photograph them in my very favorite greenhouse! Carrie and Mitchell are downright fantastic people – back in 2014 and 2015, I photographed Carrie and Mitchell’s wedding, Shay and Lawson’s wedding, Tina and Andrew’s wedding, and Harmony and Clint’s maternity and newborn photographs for their first babe and, because they are all besties, I got to see Carrie and Mitchell quite a bit and it was so fun! I hadn’t seen them since they had their sweet babe so seeing them at the greenhouse felt like a little reunion and it was such a blast!
Also! I’ve got a story!! I’m the kind of person who would be happy to always have a baby but I’m not the kind of person who just scoops up babies. It’s not because I don’t want to – it’s because I really want to and I want them to like me before I pick them up so I can hold them for, like, ever! – and, a few weeks ago, our families got together for dinner (I’m currently wooing Carrie into friendship with coffee and family dinner dates!) and when I finally got Ruby to reach for me and got to hold her for more than a minute, a waitress came up, took her from me (don’t worry – Carrie said it was okay!), and then started to walk around the restaurant while holding her. It was the strangest moment and I was about to run after the baby but then Mitchell was like, “It’s fine. This happens sometimes,” and I about died laughing.
These two, y’all!! They make an amazing couple and made the CUTEST baby, too!
Here’s some fun photographs of the Neldon family at the greenhouse. Love them!
