Xavier, Muriel, Deklan, Aurora, and Riggs❤️💕❤️



I will forever be grateful that I was able to capture this family on their final day with us. My goal is to try to find a way to keep their memory alive.,, to find a way to honor their memory each year, by running a special dedicated to them.❤️

To all of my clients and supporters:

Update: I am sad to update that mom has also passed on, continued prayers for their family and friends is appreciated.


Many of you who have came to me for photos know that I tend to connect easily to my clients. I’ve formed friendships with some of you, and have the pleasure of watching your families grow and change, and if I’m lucky I get to take your photos regularly.

Well, this family came yesterday. The mom, Muriel and I have been messaging for a while now. They were planning their wedding and she wanted family photos so badly. We talked about engagement photos, the wedding, family photos and even spoke about boudoir shoots for her fiancés gift. I got to meet them all yesterday at our first shoot. Instantly loved them. The kids were just so well behaved and adorable, and the baby, Riggs, was the best one year old I’ve ever had! He was so happy, smiled on cue, even said CHEEEEESSEEEEE a few times!!! He was so sweet, the older kids were so sweet, mom and dad both just sweet. It was obvious this family had LOVE. Happy, Loving, Beautiful Family. Such a pleasure to have met them and I looked forward to more sessions and getting to know them♥️then, later last night they were in a horrific accident, all have passed except for Muriel. I know she just came out of surgery, but I do not know the extent of her injuries or anything like that… all I know is that this Mama is going to need so much love and support and PRAYERS. So please, pray for her and their family and friends. As much as you can; please pray. Though I did not know them well, I am devastated by this news, so I cannot imagine what their family and friends are going through. If there is any type of benefit or go fund me in the future I will definitely share that here for anyone who’d like to help this family. I’m just coming here to say, I am grateful I got to meet them and to have had that session with them. I’m grateful for all of you who have come to me, those of you who keep coming back, those of you who have become my friend, all of it. I am so grateful and thankful to all of you. I want you all to know how special you are to me because life is way too short and I just felt like I needed to tell you. 

I love you all. 💔
