Goodbye, Martin

This wasn’t a normal family session. But then, this isn’t a normal family. When you know in advance that Dad has a shirt with his wife’s face printed repeatedly over the ENTIRE shirt…it’s not normal at all. Especially when it’s planned as a surprise for her for the day of. But the best laid plans…
