This session was extremely personal for me. One year ago last weekend my nephew's father died fighting for our country. Shortly after, my sister in law and nephew moved to Missouri. I am very close to both of them, my camera was in the delivery room the day Logan was born, he was in our wedding at the age of 3, but you wouldn't know it, he avoided the camera all day. We got one picture of him that day sitting on a rock wall, a candid shot and its my favorite. Aunt Kelly was my girls first and only babysitter until last summer. When I was asked to these pictures, I was honored and scared. Logan wanted pictures with his dad.
His grandmother stares at Logan's hands and feet because they are just like his fathers, I wanted to give her pictures of them to always have, even when Logan isn't with them. My sister in law loves photography too, so some of these are her inspiration.
You don't realize how lucky we are to live in this country, and how many men and women have died fighting for our freedom. I was lucky to have known a true American Hero and to have in my life the gift he gave to all of us, Logan.
Happy 4Th of July......
