a family i photographed last weekend so touched my heart...through and through. this little boy's father, B, passed away from cancer about 1 1/2 years ago. from what i know, he was just an incredible man and a fabulous musican and song writer. of course, he passed away much, much too young (in his 30s). his wife, K, is so amazing though. you talk to her and you can feel her strength through her words. she's done such an amazing job at keeping B's memory alive. there's photographs of B all over the house, K made stuffed animals out of B's clothes after he passed (see stuffed animal in photo), K's sister made a beautfiul poster of B, which is displayed in one of the rooms, and one of the most touching things i saw was that B engraved one of his guitars for N before he passed away. you can see a photo of N with daddy's guitar in gallery one. i'm sure there's so much more, this is just what i saw in the short time i was photographing them. K's kindness, strength and determination in life so inspire me. it was my honor to photograph this family.

K, i truly thank you for allowing me to photograph your family. you know how much you guys touched my heart. i already can't wait till the next time. many hugs to you, my friend!
