{Pretty in Yellow} @ Pretty in Pink Event

Bridgett walked into my studio for the first time, smiling from ear to ear. She was super excited and anxious for her photo shoot to begin! In a bright yellow sweater and jeans, Bridgett was beaming! Her energy was contagious. Bridgett was carrying two very large gift bags with her and handed them to me. For me? I asked.

A few months prior, Bridgett had emailed me asking when Carson J and Amilya Rae's birth dates were. Why? I asked curiously. "Because I made something for the babies!" She said.

Bridgett is one of the most kind, beautiful, patient, funny and amazing women in this world and I have the pleasure of knowing and calling her a friend. She has been through hell and back and has come out a stronger person because of it all. She is constantly thinking of others first and doing whatever it takes to make them a priority. Or just make them smile. At the Pretty in Pink event, she definitely made me smile!

I opened the gifts and there were two beautiful, handmade blankets inside. One for Carson and one for Millie. Their names and birth dates were stitched onto a solid red and pink side. The other side, full of sports balls and ladybugs. Wow! I was speechless and so very thankful. She had taken time out of her busy schedule to not only make my children blankets - she made them custom and special to compliment their personalities. I still want to cry just thinking about how my life has been touched by so many amazing people. Bridgett is one of them.







To Bridgett - you seriously blew me away with your thoughtfulness and sincerity. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the blankets (which my children both use daily and have become their faves) and for being such an amazing person. If I could commission an award for the most outstanding woman - it would go to you! You are awesome!
