the Lowes | maryland family portrait photography

I am so happy it worked out for me to photograph the Lowe family.

The day we had planned for was chilly and rain and drizzle threatened,

but we decided to go for it anyway and thankfully, the rain held off. 

The Lowes are an inspiration to anyone who knows them.

Matt (dad), has been battling a brain tumor for many years now

and Helen (mom) has been an amazing example of strength, faith and trusting

God  as she has cared for Matt and their six (Elliot, Hudson, Emma, Dalton, Ollie, Piper) children.

 Matt and Helen are very open and honest about their life and the past few years have been tough

as Matt has undergone multiple brain surgeries and at the time of this session was in the

middle of six weeks of radiation treatments.

But if you hung out with them you would come away encouraged

by how they fight for joy and hope in the midst of their very difficult and lengthy trials.

The grace of God in their lives is sweet to behold.

It is a blessing to know them and call them friend!

Love you guys!

PS - Helen did an awesome job putting together everyone's outfits.

So fun and colorful. Loved it.
