::Senior.Nicole:: {Redlands Senior Photographer}

Nicole’s mom and I had been talking and trying to get something together for over a month. With this crazy weather we had been having we had to reschedule I think twice due to rain and then once because I got food poisoning. Then I thought I was going to have to reschedule with her again because the flu came through the house and I was sick the night before. Luckily I had started to feel better by morning and I was going to do this shoot no matter what. I hated that we had to reschedule so many time. Since it had been so long since Nicole first booked with me I had forgotten who referred her to me until she asked how I knew her sister in law. I felt like a light bulb had gone off in my bed, and then I felt silly for not remembering who she was related to. I had a wonderful time with Nicole and her mom Julie. We went to a couple different locations in Redlands and just talked the whole time. Even after Nicole's shoot we sat down on a bench and talked for probably 30 more minutes. They are just the nicest people. I told Nicole that her cheeks were going to hurt by the end of our time together, and I was right. When your cheeks hurt by the time you have left me, than I have done my job, because in my opinion your cheeks only hurt from a “real” smile, not a fake one. : )
