This shoot was really bitter sweet.....I had so much fun getting to know this family better. Their four year old daughter was so full of life and ready to explore the river, the mud puddles, the trees..anything we came upon. But as we had this time together, I knew this family would be saying goodbye for seven months in just two short days. Having gone through this myself during the last year, I know how hard the last few days can be. I felt so happy that I could give them this gift before the departure date. I wish you all the best during these months apart; your family will certainly be in our prayers. Here are a few of my favorites from our time together....
