Even though we both attended Southern Adventist University, and had many friends in common, I had never met Jonnice. It was at our church, here in Atlanta, where our paths finally crossed. She was pregnant with her son at the time, and I remember being impressed at how stylish she looked. She was wearing a lovely gray dress that accentuated her perfectly round belly and a pair of heels, and I thought, I hope I still have the energy to look that good when I get pregnant someday.
We made plans to have lunch together, but life happened and we never made good on those plans. I ran into her, by chance, when meeting a friend for coffee at Starbucks, and discovered that we both live in the same area. She was days away from having her first child, Carter, if I remember correctly. We stayed in touch on Facebook through the birth of her 2 children, and 1 of my own.
When I started Porter Photography, she contacted me to set up a Christmas shoot for her children, Carter and Lauren. After rescheduling due to illness, we finally were able to get together for our session. It was such a nice coincidence that she lives in the same neighborhood as my best friend, Kristine Greene, also featured on this blog. We met at their next door neighbors' house for the shoot, as the sun was just dipping below the horizon. Carter and Lauren looked so adorable in their Christmas outfits, and I was impressed with their sweet demeanor and cooperation, especially because our session was so close to dinner time. We spent a fun hour together and I believe the results speak for themselves.
