There are seasons in life that have been called dark nights of the soul. Times when your worst unspoken fears become a daily reality. My family and I experienced such an intense time over a decade ago, and through it all, this wonderful family, Marsha in particular, was a shining light. Her compassion, empathy, wisdom, Godliness, and hugs were a ray of sunshine in the stormy weather. I am so grateful for her sweet family. I can not think of them without a smile coming to my face. Please enjoy photos from their recent portrait session in Arlington, near the Ballpark and Convention Center.

The cool weather and beautiful sunshine, so unusual for December made it feel like fall, which of course was totally fine by me! Their well coordinated purple and brown outfits popped nicely against the yellow leaves.

Dad and son shared light hearted moments.
