Every now and then there is an occasion that comes along that gives a purpose to being a photographer - someone who is able to capture raw emotion in a beautiful way ... yesterday - I felt that purpose - more than I have ever felt it before ... it is moments like this that make me fall in love with my "job" all over again ...
A few days ago I had the pleasure of shooting a special little guy's 1st B-day party. And yesterday we honored his late brother Samuel in a balloon release ceremony. I have never felt more honored than to be able to capture this families special moment. As a mother of twins, I can relate to Brandy's situation probably more so than anyone else. I really do not know how one can be so strong, but Brandy was ... she has to be strong for Jackson. I have great comfort knowing that little Jackson will grow up hearing about Samuel - they will teach him about his brother and that child will have an Angel looking over him for the rest of his life here on Earth and one day - they will be reunited in Heaven ... I really do believe that.
I witnessed something beautiful this day - I will never forget it ... sometimes you know you witness something that makes you step back and say "Wow - THAT was God" ... today was one of those moments. As the balloons were released and were drifting out of sight - Jackson just as plain as day uttered one word ... "Brother" ... everyone heard it and I am telling you - it was as plain as if an adult had muttered it aloud. That was special and YES THAT was God!
