“Dear Vincent. I wanted to really elaborate on the reason we asked for this session, and why we specifically chose you. I am recovery from endometrial cancer. As a 34 year old mother at the time, with a 4 year old son, a husband and 5 dogs- I was angry, sad, worried, and overwhelmed. It was a difficult 2 years, but we made it through, together as a family, with such a great support system and I wanted to celebrate “life”. Because once you feel in your gut all that might be taken away, there’s a kind of fear that you feel you’ve never experienced before. We didn’t want to just find a photographer on a website, but I wanted it to be personal. I have worked with you and seen the gentle kindness you bring to others. I have seen your past work and even purchased some for my home decor. Most importantly I knew the calm demeanor you have would be perfect with my son that has SPD. It takes time for him to bond and trust someone, and he immediately clicked with you. That just erupted my heart to see Sam make a “best friend” that day. I truly enjoyed our experience. We took a beautiful walk through the park, tried out anything and everything that made Sam smile, but also took the time to find those romantic moments between my husband and I (which we don’t get often). The moments you captured will be memories will have for the rest of our lifetime. This day of celebration of health, happiness and the strength of a family will be displayed throughout my home. You Vince, are one in a million. I was so emotional looking through our photos because even each one was different, it was just us three I this little bubble. The three of us have been through a lot, and you made us just glow that day. From all my heart to yours, thank you for sharing your talent with us. Don’t ever stop doing such an extraordinary talent, because you have it. You are forever stuck with us because not only did Sam fall for you, but now my husband as well, I see marathons in the future. I can’t wait for the next adventure with all the dogs, who seem to enjoy you just as much. Thank you for being part of our story.” God Bless & with so much love, Travis, Lindsay and Sam Swanson
