Dear Sandy and David,

Thank you for allowing me the continued honor of documenting your family's history year after year. I very much look forward to seeing you, your beautiful children and creating timeless keepsakes of your family portraits. Kaitlyn has grown into the most beautiful young woman right before our eyes. Kellie's spunky sweetness is always fun to work with and David, well what can I say about that little guy? He seriously cracks me up. I've never met a kid that enjoys pictures quite like he does and each year he certainly delivers and always provides us with some sort of excitement for these family portraits. First year he falls the morning of the session and ends up with a big scrap on his head, next year a bump and the following I believe a bruise.  This year I'm grateful he decided to forgo falling and instead shared with us the loss of his front tooth during our session together, allowing me to get a before and after shot.  Gotta love him....Not sure what to expect for next year!
Our sessions together have always been meaningful to me, however this year in particular. I was sad to not have seen you before the holidays especially given the circumstances around Davids health. Like all who love you as individuals and as a family we just wouldn't have been the same had the ending of last year turned out any different.  For this reason, I am so happy to celebrate you as a family. I look forward to being witness to the even more amazing story that is still yet to unfold for all of you as a family strengthened in a bond no circumstance can ever break.
I love you...big hug and kiss.
M.

Sandy would you share with us a little bit about your family?

Sandy:
"Yes - of course! You have been telling the story of our family for years now through your pictures and this last session took on a whole different meaning to us. Here is something to share:

Thank you Miranda - not only for following our family over the years and helping us capture our ever-changing lives on film to cherish forever, but for being a part of our lives as our kids grow up. This past session has proven to be the most cherished of all - God has blessed our family with a miracle and it was such an emotional moment in time for us - thank you for helping us to always remember that special time. Our lives came to a stop 5 months ago and we would have never imagined that we would have the special times together again as a family that you captured for us. So much has changed since last year and we have learned never to take anything for granted - enjoy and be grateful for every day. Seeing our family pictures serves as a very emotional reminder to us that we need to be gracious for all that we hold dear in our lives - family and friends. We are so thankful for all that everyone has done for us and for the many new bonds we have made with very special people who have come into our lives."
