This post has taken me forever to do, as these photos are really special to me and I was not very good at narrowing down which ones to share. Becky is a mom at my sons school, who I am so happy to have connected with last year. Since Becky is also a photographer, I was a bit nervous going into this shoot. I knew that she could great great shots of her kids and husband and I really wanted to be able to capture the interaction between them all for her. On the plus side, since she is a photographer, she really knew how to dress the family. I could easily title this post “what to wear”. The bright colors that she picked were perfect.
Becky’s son Evan, is one of the boys I ran in honor of when I ran my team in training half marathon last fall. Evan was diagnosed with leukemia last year and through this shoot, I wanted to be able to capture the love this family shares and what clearly helped them get through a very tough year. As you will see from this small sampling of photos, that was easy…anyone could walk into their house and see the connection they all share. I am happy to say that Evan is in remission and is doing great.
I could go on and on about everything that I love about each of these photos and could easily share twice as many but instead I will just leave you with the images which I think speak for themselves.
