**Surprise for Dad** | Fort Collins Family Photographer

Agnieszka is a very dear friend and fellow photographer.  She moved to Fort Collins last fall with her husband, Tim, and little girl, Anya.  Before moving, she had been looking for local photographers to connect with and came across my site.  She sent me the most bubbly and sweet email asking if I’d like to meet up sometime.  I took a look at her business, A Brilliant Photo, and fell head over heals for her gorgeous work!  Then I knew I HAD to meet this fabulous photog whose name I had no idea how to pronounce ;)

A and I met at her new home for tea one afternoon and I felt as if I were talking to a long lost friend.  She has since become one of my closest friends and confidants.  I am soooooooo glad that she had the nerve to email a total stranger in hopes of making a connection.  Agnieszka – you’re awesome and I <3 you!

This spring, Agnieszka and I decided to swap photo shoots (yay!!!).  She shot all of my promo shots for the Moriah Riona rebrand, which you can see around my sites.  Yes, I know, she’s amazing!  So, when she told me that she was expecting her second child and wanted to surprise Tim during a photo shoot – I knew the pressure was on!  Haha. Oh my goodness... this was definitely one of my favorite (and most nerve wracking shoots) ever!  I was so nervous during the shoot – even more than a wedding!   I was really afraid that I was going to say something and accidentally give away the surprise.  But the session turned out soooooo well and I am so excited to finally share it with you!!

Agnieszka was pretty sneaky and just told Tim that we were doing a little family photo shoot.  He had no idea what she had in store for him!

Miss Anya!  I love this precious little girl!!

What a Daddy's Girl!

Ok, surprise time!  Aaaah I was sooooo nervous!  Haha... Agnieszka had me hand a book to Tim so he could read it to Anya.  It was entitled "I'm a Big Sister."  Tim actually skipped over the inscription Agnieszka had written on the front page and didn't quite get the surprise at first... She told him to go back and

take a look at her little message....

What a beautiful family with another little one on the way!!  Congrats!!!
