Stephanie emailed me last weekend about wanting to schedule some family photos.

After she told me a little more about their family, I was absolutely honored that she trusted me to document this precious time in their lives.  Jeff and Stephanie have been married almost 5 years. They make such a beautiful couple!

They have two gorgeous girls, Kenley whose 2 years old and Blake is 8 months old.

Only a few short months ago, they got the devastating news that Blake has Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). I can’t even begin to imagine what that must be like to experience getting news like that as a parent. All I will say, is that in the few hours I spent getting to know them on Monday, it has forever impacted my life.

Stephanie has started a blog about their family and their journey along the way. To find out more information about SMA and read more about this unbelievably strong and courageous family, head on over to check that out here: https://stillfindingsunshine.com/about/

In the meantime, here are some photos from our session. I had such a great time laughing together with this family. Their love for one another is present the second you see them together.

Kenley loved getting to take a ride in my red wagon!

Sisters! Too precious for words!

Blake’s blue eyes. They are piercing and tell a story all on their own.

One look into them and you cannot help but be captivated by her.

Smelling the buttercups with Mom!

This next one is my absolute favorite from our session.

And of course, we had to get some photos with just Jeff and Stephanie!

I loved watching them laugh together.

Kenley enjoyed getting to make some wishes on dandelions!

Jeff and Stephanie – Thank you guys so much for entrusting me to capture these memories for your family.

It was absolutely my pleasure to get to meet you all.

I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
