Charlottesville Family Summer Portraits at Home in Albemarle County

I first met the sweet parents of this beautiful family nine years ago when I photographed the birth of their youngest child. At that time his prognosis was not good, and every breath he would take would be a miracle…and the miracle has continued for nine years with their happy boy now thriving and bringing joy to everyone he encounters each day! What a tremendous honor it was to photography this wonderful family in celebration of their miracle baby’s 9th birthday!
