When my sister, Melissa, emailed me for a family session, I was excited to see her kids.  It had been  4 years since our father’s passing, which was the last time I had seen her.  Since then she had her daughter, Madison.   I love watching families grow! I just wish our father could still be here today to see his grand daughter who’s hair, smile, and playfulness  is reminiscent  of his daughter  when she was young. When I look at her son Mathew, now 7,  I’m reminded of our Dad.  Something about his haircut reminds me of old pictures of our Dad when he was young.     I love how I get to captures such precious memories and golden moments for families to share with loved ones!
