Jeremy & Kimberly
The portrait that you produced is beautiful and will be a mark in time for our family!!
The day of the sitting was really lovely because even though we all live in different parts of the world, we sometimes do not see things from the same perspective. We usually get together about 4 times or more a year but this time was special, because there was no event such as a party or holiday. We were able to have time as a family.
I woke up early to cook a big from scratch pancake breakfast, the radio was playing in the background with a mix of American oldies and Nigerian current tunes. The children played and sang as my brother played on the piano. We tried on clothes and adjusted jewelry as the makeup lady and the headtie lady got us ready. There was a tantrum thrown by Baby Haven when she did not want to wear her outfit. Grandma saved the day by recognizing that a quick snack would get her back to her sweet self again.
It was a wonderful sitting and you and Kimberly were so gracious and professional. When we received the portrait and presented it to Mummy, she was emotional; it is still her favorite present from her 60th birthday party. She stares at it on the mantel every morning in absolute reverence as she marvels at her legacy... her family as it is today. She is so grateful that God has kept us all and brought us into the New Year.
Thank you so much for making Mummy so happy! We all love the portrait so much.
Thank you,
Adeola
