Remembering my Dad….

Today would have been my Dad’s 60th Birthday, its hard to believe he left us here on earth almost 3 years ago, after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. Each year my girls & I release balloons to remember him on his birthday and this year we happen to be at the beach and I wanted to document it for my girls, my twins never got to meet him, I was 16 weeks pregnant with them when he passed, and he was the first I told that I was having twins…. I so wish he would have had the chance to hold them just one time, but thanks to the magic of photography they do know who “Popee” is, and amazingly my oldest still remembers him even though she turned 3 only five days before he passed away. My father was a huge inspiration to me, and I strongly believe a huge reason for my love of photography. He always wanted us to ‘remember’ moments in our life no matter how big or little, so my love for photography started at a very young age. Here are a few images from our balloon release tonight….

Jenn, I just wanted to tell you that you are a fantastic Mommy. Your girls will always remember and “know” Popee because of meaningful, precious things like this. Your Dad would be so proud of you. Hugs to you, sweet friend. xoxo

This is incredibly touching! This brings tears to my eyes! It resonates with me because my father is currently battling advanced cancer. These photos are amazing!
