this past february, i was lying in bed watching the local news trying to fall asleep when this story caught my attention. listening to the horrible tragedy that befell this unfortunate family, i heard the newscaster mention that the mother of these children is a portrait photographer. i already felt so connected to this story as any mother would, but learning that we are in the same field, i felt compelled to look her up. scrolling through her website full of gorgeous images of her precious babies late that night, tears flowing, and feeling horrible for the family’s loss, i knew i had to do something. the next day i saw in my facebook feed that an acquaintance of mine is this very mama’s best friend. that is how i heard about the Lillard Family Benefit Auction and i immediately offered a full family session for the cause. that is where the lovely W family comes into the picture. they won the bidding on my session, and together we’re did our teeny tiny part in helping this beautiful family reconstruct their lives after facing unimaginable loss.
the W family is a sweet and fun as the images from this session look. we shared a lot of laughs and had a blast at this gorgeous, new (to me) location.a really lovely family i’m so grateful i got to share an evening with.
