Once upon a time there lived a little boy named Jack. Jack was a smart little boy, who loved anything to do with jewels, Pirates, treasures, gold, and Egypt. Jack also really loved his Mommy, and would reach out to kiss her spontaneously at any given moment….

Jack was so much fun to photograph and so was his mom! I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to capture their story!
