When Houston first communicated with me about having a session I had such a positive feeling about him, even though it was only through messages. When we met at his session, the first thing he did was give me a big hug, as if he'd known me for years. Shevia, his beautiful service dog, has been Houston's rock for the past year and it was important to Houston to share this experience with her. He wanted to capture his life, as it is now, to remember how far he's come. By the end of our session, I knew that Houston was a great inspiration for anyone going through tough times. I feel privileged to have taken this veteran's pictures so that it can help tell his story.
