Family Photos

I’ve always loved taking photos.

I scheduled the newborn photo shoots and made sure we had family pictures for our annual Christmas card. I loved sending them out, but after losing Adam, I stopped. 

No more family photo shoots. No more Christmas cards. 

I look back at these and ache for the family we once were and for the pain we didn't know was coming. 

 My kids have grown so much. I knew it was time to take photos again.

I needed to document this time, these stages. 

 They are tall, beautiful, and thriving. 

They deserved new photos and my sweet friend, Kim, agreed to help make that happen. 


When I look at this our first family photo taken since losing Adam – it is beautiful, but will always appear incomplete. Someone is missing. A huge presence and big smile. 

There will always be a hole in these photos for me, no matter how perfect everyone looks. 

But this is us now. I will frame it and hang it on our wall and marvel at these faces who have carried so much.

Happy New Year.

Welcome to 2025.
