Chris Kendig Photography

Sometimes I forget how important and meaningful photographs are to people.  I guess I kind of take it for granted because photographs are what I know.  The Graham’s have been such a wonderful family to me over the years. They’ve used my services for their wedding and each time there newest child turns six months old.  The email I got from them in response to my most recent shoot not only made me smile but helped re-assert the idea that what I do is worthwhile.

“As usual, you are amazing.  Thank you so much, Chris, from the bottom of my heart.  Your photography allows me to have a permanent footprint in my heart of a very special time in my life, it goes by way too quickly.  These photos are absolutely beautiful – and really are making me laugh!! The ones by the shed – aka the “barn” – are UNBELIEVABLE.  Those of Seamus alone have captured his expressions that I see everyday – and now I won’t forget them all too easily, because you have given me the opportunity to look at them whenever I want.”

At the back end of the yard is a shed that I thought could look cute as a backdrop for the two older kids.  I had them stand there and hold hands. At one point their mother interjected, telling them to say “I love you” and give a hug.  The hug request was denied at first and somehow turned into them grabbing each other’s noses and saying “Honk, I love you.”
