Cheyenne Monteiro Photography

My heart dropped when the rain started. I was sitting in my car, an hour early, watching it come down in sheets — Nicole was weeks from her due date and there was no other version of this day. And then the clouds pulled back from Mt. Si, the light came flooding into the meadow, and a rainbow hung over the valley like the whole thing had been planned.

I have known Nicole outside of this work. To be trusted with a moment this big, for a family this dear — and to be standing in a field like that, doing what I love, camera in hand, the mountains right there — I don’t take a single second of it for granted.

There is no version of this work I don’t feel honored to do.
