An amazing family and a session I will NEVER forget!

This family has changed the way I look at each day and I know their story will touch many others as it has me. Monica contacted me several months ago with the most beautiful email. She told the story of "the love of her life" fighting for our country in Afghanistan. He was bombed during his service and suffered extensive injuries. In fact, it was a miracle that he walked away at all. He was sent to a hospital in Texas where he would undergo several surgeries and months of therapy. Monica asked if I would take their family pictures once he was allowed home for a short leave. It still gives me goose bumps to think of that email. I was honored and touched to know that she would think of me to capture memories of such a sacred time in their life.

All of my anticipation for this session could not have prepared me for the gratitude I felt for Quinn and this family at their session. I could not imagine these two beautiful children growing up without the love of their dad and the strength of this amazing family. It is far to easy to take all that we have for granted! I know that we are naive to the hardships these soldiers and their families are facing. I also know that there are men and women like Quinn who are willing to fight for our freedoms and the blessings we enjoy everyday by living in the United States. As Quinn told his story I felt overwhelmed with gratitude. Quinn, I want you and your beautiful family to know that I am thankful for all that you have given. I know that your life has been forever changed by what you have gone through on behalf of our country. You are a hero as are the other men you were with. You are in my prayers and I wish you all of the best as you recover. Monica, my heart is full and I can not thank you enough for trusting me with your beautiful family. You are an amazing person!
