Kittirath Family I Phoenix, Arizona

It was evident that there is a special bond between the parents, Sirionth and Adam, and their boys, as well as between the siblings. You could never tell that Sirionth suffers from a blood disorder and liver disease, because she always has a smile on her face and puts her family's and friends' needs before hers. She refuses to let her illnesses define her as a person, and continues to maintain a positive outlook on life. After all, the glass should be viewed as half full and not half empty, right? 

Sirionth and Adam have been together for over 20 years and are proud parents to four wonderful boys, all of whom are clearly devoted to her. The oldest, Richard, is a pilot with the U.S. Navy and is in town for a special visit. Identical twins Alex and Austin are following in their brother's footsteps and have enlisted in the U.S. Navy. Thank you boys for your dedication to serving our beautiful country - I salute you all! Last, but definitely not least, is Apollo, the youngest and a sweet boy. 

It's only fitting that my last photo session of 2016 was with this inspirational family. They were a joy to hang out with, and I couldn't be happier with how their photos turned out. Enjoy some of my favorites from their session below.

Wishing everyone a new year full of happy tidings!
