Two of my HUGEST life decisions started out as “I will NEVER do (insert word here).” The first one was a threat to my now husband of 8.5 years. I told him that if he became a cop, I would NEVER marry him. Apparently he didn’t take me seriously. . . and I must have not taken myself very seriously either, because we are in fact married and he is in fact a cop.
Second one was in regards to photography. I bought my first camera, a Canon Rebel xti, just to take better pictures of my kids. I’m pretty sure I didn’t stick to that one either. Nowadays I’m convinced that when I say “I will NEVER. . .”, I can actually hear God snickering from the heavens.
If you feel so inclined, leave a comment and tell me something you said you would never do but did!
Here's a pic that my great friend (and amazing engagement, wedding, and boudoir photographer), Desiree Hayes, took of my husband and I at the beach a couple months ago!

It’s hard to come into a session without knowing each other and feel the love for the camera right away. So I use various techniques, i.e. kissing and groping one another, to calm everyone’s nerves and in turn capture those real moments and expressions that really make a portrait come alive. I can’t tell you how gratifying it is to go through the pictures and be smiling from ear to ear. My daughter was watching me go through Katy and Tim’s pictures and asking, “Why are you smiling Mommy?” I told her it was because seeing other people happy and laughing made me happy too. 
This is the moment where you all go “Awwwww”.
