Gorgeous Little Guy

This session was tough… not because of the baby, but because of ME. Yes, ME! 🙁

As mentioned previously, May was a month in which I was sick throughout most of it. At one point, I thought I was feeling better and decided to do this session. About 45 minutes into the session, everything got extra hot, my legs & arms got heavy (I was standing on a ladder) I began to shake and almost passed out. I had to get air, water and a 5 minute break. I sat on the floor with my head on my knees and eyes closed. Although my head was spinning & I was nauseous, I felt especially frustrated and VERY embarrassed at what seemed to be a failed attempt at this newborn session. Luckily, I had worked with this wonderful couple before and so it was a small relief to me to know that they knew this was NOT normal. After a few minutes of rest, I decided to continue on.

I ended up needing another week and a half to recover. It has been tough for me to really accept that what happened was “okay” because I honestly felt I was going to be fine. I feel that “I’m sorry” is not enough for this family, for the worry I have caused them during the session and not being at 100%. But I knew how important it was to them to capture portraits of the Grandma’s with this little guy. THANK YOU so much for your patience with me and at the same time, again, I’m so SORRY for that scary moment.
