A Family Session at the U.S. Capitol

There is something so special about a family that sings together. Any time their little man started to feel sad they would start to sing his favorite songs and he would just light up. It was incredible. We met in the side gardens at the Supreme Court and walked the entire Captiol area together. The […]
