The sweetest family met me in the mountains for a surprise session for Mama. I have never met a more soulful or inspiring crew. I love their hearts and the moments they gave me.
It has sure been a year of high and lows, but being able to channel pain into art brings healing... and beauty. We played and cuddled and splashed in the Colorado Mountains.
Every family I photograph has a story all their own. Like each one of us, the commonality is that even though it isnβt always happy or easy or uncomplicated, they are beautiful.
