Delaney Family Mini Christmas Session

Christmas is the season of gift giving. And can I just tell you what a gift this family continues to be in my life?! Never could I have imagined how integral the Delaney family would be to my life story when I signed on as their nanny 4 years ago. From day one, they welcomed me in fully as part of the family, entrusting me to love & care for their two most treasured gifts, Devin and Ava.

Over the years I’ve had the great privilege of weathering many seasons and countless adventures with the Delaneys, even relocating to North Carolina from Indiana with them! That’s how much I love them. I really, reeeeeeeally love this family and I just couldn’t bear the thought of saying goodbye. But for all the love I pour into them, they return it times four. The unprompted & spontaneous moments when Devin or Ava pipes up with an, “I love you, Sebree!” are my absolute favorite. Melts my heart every. single. time.

Not only are they the reason for me moving to NC but they are also my biggest inspiration for FINALLY pursuing this photography dream of mine! All the years spent documenting and collecting our daily moments together has helped me realize how much I value capturing the sweet moments of life. I am SO thankful for the pictures I’ve curated for them. And yet I wish I had taken even more... We reminisce over them constantly & wonder how time passed so quickly. It seems like just yesterday that I first joined David & Hilary in the chaos of juggling a toddler and a 10 month old baby!

It has certainly been a wild ride at times. But family is family and I wouldn’t trade the Delaneys for anything!! I am grateful daily for them opening their hearts to me & allowing me to do the same for them. I hope you also treasure the gift of love this holiday season (& every day) with your family too!

Merry Christmas!

XOXO,

Sebree (& the Delaneys)
