Hi all.  I thought I would share some of my experiences when I first got into portrait photography.  Meet Todd, Cat and their son, Sawyer.  This image was taken a few years ago while they still lived in VT.  They were gracious and kind while patiently posing for my very first portrait session.  I've known Cat for several years now.  She was one of my finest nurses when I was a practicing nurse leader.  There was no pressure to make sure I captured their love since Todd is a professional photographer!  It was a beautiful day with perfect golden light.  Photographing this family was an honor - and the least I could do to provide some warm memories of their time in Vermont.  You see, Todd was diagnosed with ALS shortly after they were married.  As I continue to stay in touch with Todd and Cat, his spirit is as strong as it ever has been.  A sweet, beautiful and loving family, Cat is the picture of devotion and dedication and Sawyer is a thriving young man sharing a Todd's spirit and zest for life.   God bless you - Cat, Todd and Sawyer!
