I’ve known this incredible family since my husband started working at Sacramento Metro Fire District sixteen years ago. Dad Joe had just nine days left on the job when I took these photographs in late February.

It was the first time I’d ever done a “lifestyle-type” session at a fire station, and I really enjoyed myself!

This sweet family is the absolute BEST — they made my job really, really EASY!

Thank you for your service, Joe. Here’s to a long and happy retirement!
