Porta Family Christmas Pictures

The Porta Family
I had such a great opportunity to take some family Christmas pictures for my cousin Leah and her family. One thing you need to know about this family is that they are FULL of LOVE! Their son Henry is a kid with special needs. Henry has Autism Disorder, but is one of the most precious human beings you'll ever meet. Along with very many other people who have autism, Henry is genuine in his feelings and emotions, and you can tell that his feelings with his siblings and his parents is pure Love! 

(I also gotta say, Henry did a great job during our session, even with my constant requests to pose, and pose, and pose, and... well you get it! He put up with me very well!!)


Jacob is a future Grammy winning musician, be on the look out!
Enjoying some of the "fruits" of Gizdich 
More Gizdich treats!

See what I mean about the pure love that Henry has for his family?!
Leah and Emily
Samson was pretty excited for the Pirates of the Caribbean key that I gave him before our session. Both him and Henry had a load of energy to spend out at the ranch!! Here they are, both in full sprint, enjoying life!

One thing you'll notice is that Henry likes to carry a long string of material. Whether it's  some rope, yarn, or pieces of torn-up plastic bags that he ties together, Henry loves to have something with him. Too cute!
I asked Samson to show off his huge muscles, and then he showed me how good his jumping skills are and leaped up to grab an apple. 







Merry Christmas you guys, from Luke and BreAnne!! :)
