"Where you invest your love,you invest your life." Mumford & Sons, Awake My Soul
I'm not going to lie. I might be kind of in love with this family. The Nelson Family. They're the most supportive and art loving people. Kristen, the beautiful mama to Mr. Becks, and wife to Jeffrey is a wickedly talented pianist. If I lived closer to Rockford, Illinois, I would go see her every chance I had. She is amazing. Kristen has taught me so much about seeing value in art and art that others create. And collecting that art. So many kinds of art. Shoot! When she was in town we went on a food art tour around Lincoln. We had some amazing food! I think we both tacked on a few more "lbs" than we intended. Because of her, she has opened my eyes and heart to so many things I took for granted prior. Their home is filled with one of a kind pieces. I love that!! I could go on and on about them. Having them visit was like a recharge for my battery. They adore Becks maybe a little bit more than me. I mean, they ARE his parents. Beckett is so lucky to have such attentive and loving parents. Becks is growing so quickly, learning so much, and discovering nature, grass blade by grass blade. Nelson family, thank you so much for trusting me capture this time in your life. And, blog reader, thank you for being here and taking the time to fall in love with them! I hope you enjoy their family photos that I hope they treasure for years to come...
