Family photo shoots are beautiful and emotional. They are a way of capturing the essence of a family at a particular moment in time. The essence of our family was changed forever this past summer and has resulted in us facing many ‘firsts’; birthdays, anniversaries, first days of school, family vacations, Thanksgiving and now our first family photos without the physical presence of the man who defined love, gentleness, strength and wisdom. However, as with all of our ‘firsts’, on this special day, Ryan was there with us, sitting on our shoulders, whispering in our ears and loving us more than ever. Throughout this shoot as I felt the tears begin to well up, the words of one of ‘Daddy’s songs’ played in my head; “Never alone, never alone, I’ll be in every beat of your heart when you face the unknown, Wherever you fly, this isn’t goodbye, My love will follow you stay with you, Baby you’re never alone.” Tricia, thank you for capturing another one of our ‘firsts’.
