Jim and Laura have been blessed with three amazing children: Emma, Sophie, and Nate. They also face some challenges that you might not see at your first glance. Nate is challenged with Type 1 Diabetes and Sophie battles Crohn's Disease. They are beautiful children; full of life, full of energy, and ready to face the world.
Nate is three years old and is so very proud of it. He is inquisitive and always appears to be on an adventure. While mom and I talked, he would take off around the park checking things out. He is super sweet and can has the most amazing blue eyes.
Sophie is precious. Mom and I were talking about her disease and I was informed that up until that week, she had been in remission. Since our session, little Sophie has had a really rough few days. She was a trooper through the full session and never complained about being out in the heat.
Emma is the oldest child. She is healthy and I would imagine a big help to her mom and dad. She is beautiful and is going to become an incredibly beautiful young lady. She is a great big sister. She watches over her sister and brother with a careful eye, but still maintains an innocence that only a child can - even in the midst of the chaos that surrounds this family.
Throughout all the daily struggles the Houston Family is faced with...they are passionate, happy, and full of an incredible love.
I am honored to be the chosen photograher for the Houston Family and hope they know that their strength inspires me. They have touched my heart like only Hero's can.

I am honored to be a photographer for the Inspiration Through Art program.
"Our mission at Inspiration Through Art is to help provide and capture memories for families who are dealing with hectic schedules due to having a child who is suffering from a serious illness or life altering disability. We are here to offer emotional support through the beauty and expression art has to offer, as a way of healing and coping. We understand that in the midst of being thrown a diagnosis and having to switch from a “normal” life to a life that is totally different, and often scary, things like getting photos taken is sometimes a huge challenge and is one of the last things families are thinking about. But when everything is done, and either the child has reached the end of their battle, or has proven the odds against it many wish they had more time to stop, and capture the journey that they lived through for so long."
So if you know of a child or family that is suffering from a serious illness or life altering ability - I encourage you to check out the Inspiration Through Art website.
Much Love
