I am always grateful to be able to take portraits for families because I know how important it is to capture those memories for yourself and for your kids and loved ones. I was especially honored to capture this special family's portraits recently. Although you see 5 people in the portrait below, this is actually a family of 6. The boys are two out of three triplets born earlier this year. Their brother, Christopher Patrick, died shortly before birth. Needless to say, this has been a trying year for them all with a lot of emotional highs and lows but they have handled everything with a strength of spirit that is truly amazing. These are the first professional portraits they've had taken and I really wanted to make sure the family was fully represented.
I love love this picture of big sister. She is a character and really loved spinning her dress.
Such cute little guys!!
The last time Mom and Dad heard Christopher Patrick's heartbeat was on St. Patrick's Day. The shamrock on Mom's wrist is in his memory.
So smiley!
I love this one too.
And this one.
All tuckered out.
