We Won a Family Photoshoot with Neide B Photography
/You guys … I am pretty sure we can all agree that 2020 isn’t quite what any of us expected or anticipated. There have definitely been more downs than ups and more uncertainty with what the future holds and looks like than ever before. However … Brit and I have done our very best with trying to find the silver lining when things get tough. And although we have had some profound moments of appreciation during this pandemic, we have also enjoyed some super random wins for our family.
Case in point? An experienced photographer, although new to her own business, was looking to expand and diversify her portfolio. She is committed to showing all people and families of all colors, genders, sexual orientations…the works! Pretty awesome, right? Well, she took to her Facebook community and asked a handful of the mommy groups to nominate a same sex couple with kiddos. Not only did strangers and acquaintances alike nominate us, we won! She actually chose us!
Now, of course our initial plan was to meet at the end of March in a beautiful National Park near where we live. But alas, COVID-19 had other plans. We stayed in touch and kept up to date with the most recent laws, regulations, and safety precautions, and FINALLY found a day, time, and place for her to capture our family. It was actually rather perfect. We went to an open park where not a sole was in sight and I was much further along in my pregnancy, making our moments with Thea even that more special.
Neide, of Neide B Photography, came prepared. She was masked and ready to go, along with her camera and cute lady bug fixture that squeaked to get Thea’s attention. And it worked perfectly. I don’t think the three of us have had such belly laughs before. I feel super fortunate that we have had so many opportunities to work with some of the most talented photographers and videographers in Los Angeles during this pregnancy.
