The thing about family is that it’s a real, living, breathing, ever-changing thing. It’s number 1 on our minds. It’s number 1 on our list of priorities. It’s why we work. It’s who we love most. My heart sings every time I get the honor to capture one of these family-thingies. And sooooo not for the money. To provide a family with the one true thing that lasts in this world. Photography is a gift.
This is especially true when a game-changer happens.
The Jones family is no stranger to game-changers and their family photo shoot happened at a very special time in their lives. Not only does Papa Scott have Parkinson’s disease, but ONE DAY after this shoot, little Matthew (the blonde one) was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Every moment they have together is a blessing.
Parkinson’s is a chronic and progressive movement disorder that has caused some rigidity in Scott’s facial muscles. His smile is only evident with real honest-to-goodness emotion.
You can see here… he was feelin’ it.
The best view comes after the hardest climb.
Thank you, Jones family, for letting me capture you.
