Summer House Sodlon Family Session

It was one of those family photo sessions that struck straight to my heart!

When Rain explained to me that his son cannot be that attentive because he has autism, I wanted to embrace her and tell her, I totally understand. It is not something foreign to me. I know how it feels. The struggles that go with it. The patience and understanding as parents and from the people around us.

I am always in awe when I get to photograph families with a special family member. It makes me want to rejoice that this child with needs is embraced and accepted as a whole by his family while others do not have the same fate. If only they could! If only they will! If only society will give this special sector the much-needed consideration, we, as parents would be very happy. Knowing that, when one day, we leave this earth, our child is thriving in a kinder place.

I love documenting family reunions. Because I wish for the same! A big family with just love and acceptance. If I can’t have it just yet, I am content to photograph others.

Sharing with you the family I photographed some Sundays ago up North in Sogod. It makes my heart fatter every time I meet families.

I thank you Rain for allowing me to photograph yours!
