Photographing this sweet family was such a treat this year! The love this family has and the heartache they have been through… they love bigger, they love stronger…
I was nervous that I would have a hard time at the shoot because their one daughter wasn’t there this time… I tried to distract myself and look at the trees and breathe and think of other things… but then their love was so powerful I couldn’t help but watch them… it inspired me so much! Their daughter was there in spirit.. the winds picked up when we thought of her, the sky opened up with the most beautiful sun rays imaginable… it was so beautiful! The last image was a wish of Tana’s… to have a photograph with all 3 of their children together… we inserted beautiful angel Teeja in to this family pic and it’s like she was there with them… it was sad to do but felt nice to give this to their family…
I hope it helps them just a little bit… xo
