…is exciting, right?! Getting that key handed over, and bam. You own something, something big, something amazing. Something you are about to make so many amazing memories in and something you get to call YOURS. You get to make changes to it whenever you see fit, you don’t have to wait around for your landlord to be able to pay him rent, or have to pay someone else to live in THEIR house! {As you can tell, I for one am on board for being a homeowner}.
With all this excitement, one often forgets that, as exciting as it is, you won’t get the moment back of walking into your empty-brand new to you-house and you will soon make it your home. With this in mind, I’ve enjoyed the idea and now been able to do a few of these sessions that are all about celebrating the excitement and photographing those moments so you will be able to look back, after 10, 20, maybe even 30 years of living in your home and remembering what it looked like and what YOU looked like when you first moved in!
Megan + Forrest {Jones} bought their very own home this week and allowed me to come in and take some photographs of them, standing in front of their house, showing off the key to THEIR house, sitting in their livingroom without any furniture in it, and even popping open a bottle of sparkling juice to celebrate. Last January {2016}, I was honored to be this couple’s wedding photographer. Megan and I are definitely not strangers to one another, we grew up together as I was close friends with her little sister and I have fond childhood memories. It’s very exciting to meet new people, but just as exciting to watch people you’ve known forever and be able to capture special life moments for them.
Congrats Megan + Forrest. Enjoy settling into your {h.o.m.e}.
