The Journey of a Micro Preemie to Paris II Paris Family Photographer

To visit and meet their family in the countryside and spend some time in Paris. Incredible.

Here is their beautiful and healthy family of four in the Jardin du Luxembourg. Meeting them and hearing first hand their story has definitely been one of the most memorable experiences so far in my career.

Ex: We are coming to Paris this spring at the end of March and it's our first time! We don't often travel so this is really big for us. I've been a Francophile since I was in my teens and have always dreamed of coming. I'd love this for my family and especially to be able to relive this special trip everyday on my walls with an art piece! My kids are 2, 5 and 9. Crossing my fingers and toes to be chosen!!
