We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude. ~Cynthia Ozick

In honor of the memorial holiday I just had to post this session from Seattle. Meet Julia, her mom and dad. Julia’s dad is a member of our armed forces and I give thanks to him for the sacrifices that he makes but also to the sacrifices that his family makes as well. They all sacrifice so much so we all can have so much and feel so safe!

Courtney is a friend by way of my work at the University of Minnesota and I was thrilled when she asked me if I would photograph her new little girl, Julia who is just shy of 9 months. It was fantastic getting to see them, meet Olivia and Brad for the first time and chat up. You have a beautiful family Courtney! Enjoy your sneak peek!
