The Dawson Family

Every time I photograph the Dawson family, I look forward to learning something new. I’ve learned about the Korean tradition of celebrating an infant’s first 100 days of life, about the colorful and traditional Korean clothing for children, and this fall I was fortunate enough to meet Katrina’s biological family as they were visiting from Korea! She’s only known them for a few years, and has cherished every moment she’s been able to spend with them in her adult life. One of the best remarks I’ve ever heard from a client is when Katrina thanked me for photographing her and her daughter, Molly, with her biological mother and sister, saying she’s been waiting years for a photograph of them together. Unfortunately her mother threw her back out on this day and was a little restricted with movement, but it did not dampen the spirits or the love in her eyes.
