Baby Brianna

I've taken a lot of photos of the Lewis/Groen family over the years, and in all fairness, I owe them my entire photography career. Without my good friend Kim allowing me to shoot her wedding three years ago, I probably wouldn't be doing this. She took a chance on me, and I am eternally grateful.
Not only that, it's been an immense pleasure to document the birth of nieces, weddings, family photos, etc. I feel like I'm part of their family sometimes....probably because they are so kind to everyone they meet.
About a year and a half ago tragedy struck this amazing family. If anyone didn't deserve to have their father and husband taken away from them so suddenly, it was the Lewis family. While the pain of losing their father is still very real, every day, they are living their lives. I know their Dad isn't far from their minds.
That's why it was an extra special treat to meet Baby Brianna, Rebecca's seven week old girl. It's almost as if she is the gift to the family that may mend their broken hearts. Boy, is she a gift! Brianna turned it on for the camera and her sweet face was so adorable I couldn't believe it.
I love these photos of the little one, and I hope she is every bit as bright and lovable as her grandfather was. He truly was a happy soul...and I think he's watching over this lovebug every day.
