I truly love meeting new families.  It's one of the best things about my job.   This family was so sweet and I loved hearing their story.  They have three beautiful children and had to go through so much with their youngest including long NICU stays and open heart surgery.  We actually had to reschedule their first session because he needed his heart surgery sooner then they expected.  But he is incredibly strong and such a fighter.  Some people may think having a child with Down Syndrome is a burden, but I have seen through multiple families how much of a blessing it is.  This little guy is a testament to that!

At the end of the shoot, mom wanted some pictures to use on her own blog for the cause of Inclusion.  I loved being a part of such an amazing message and her family shared it so well!
