the Cahills

I first “met” Matt + Heidi several months ago while editing and listening to The Meredith Vieira Show.  I don’t really watch while I edit but I like the background noise. However my ears perked up when I heard Meredith start talking about a couple from Falls Church, VA (turns out we are neighbors!).  Just months after their marriage Matt was diagnosed with cancer and then a few years later Heidi also received the terrible diagnoses that she too had cancer.  The treatments unfortunately left them unable to conceive so they started down the long road to adoption.  They made an adoption video which quickly went viral.  After hearing their story I knew I wanted to reach out to Heidi.  I messaged her on Facebook offering her a session once she was home with her new baby.  I quickly received an email back from her saying she would be thrilled to work with me!……Now we wait……..I was so happy for them the day I received Heidi’s email telling me that they were parents and would soon be bringing their daughter home!  Working with this family and seeing the love and happiness they have for one another was truly beautiful.
