I have been extremely busy these past few weeks – 9 sessions in eight days topped by a wedding this past Saturday.  Awesome and fun but super intense and slightly exhausting.  As a result though, I have tons of things to share as you could probably tell by the number of posts last week.  I have more this week!!!

First up today is a very very incredibly special session.  Last year around Christmas time I took part in a national program called “Giving is Awesome.”  Basically it was to find a very deserving family and give them the gift of photography.  A session and all of the files from that session.  I got several wonderful, amazing and heartbreaking entries but the one that stood out to me the most was the story of baby Violet.  I don’t want to get into too many details, but mom has had many struggles over the years with some major health issues and their dream of having a baby didn’t ever seem to be happening.  Through a few blessed twists of fate, they were able to adopt the beautiful baby Violet.  Her adoption was just finalized last month and she turns one any time now.  So it was the perfect time to do their session and celebrate what a miracle they have received.

We had such a great time during their session and Violet is not only beautiful, but so sweet and scrumptious.  And as a side note, it turned out that both the nominator and the nominee went to UConn with Matt so he got to reconnect with them as well.  Good all around 🙂   Enjoy!
