For you to remember.

Being the planner she is, Ricci set up this shoot months ago.
Although, she couldn’t be here physically, she’s definitely present within each one of them .
Going through these photographs, I can see her.
Her smile, her heart, her spirit and most of all, her determination. It’s immensely visible through their eyes.
The love Ricci poured into everyone’s lives is what keeps them going and believing.
She’s going to wake up, soon. We know it. We can all feel it.
And when she does, let these moments help her remember what a beautiful family she created.

To Mike and Ricci’s family, you are all doing an amazing job. You are such a beautiful, strong and united family. I know you are making Ricci proud.
If you’d like to contribute more than prayers, go to www.riccisjourney.com or visit the family’s Facebook page “Support the Houcks”.

    This is absolutely incredible….my constant prayers are with her and her beautiful family……their whole world has been turned upside down but you seemed to capture their strength with such ease. God bless them. A reminder to all that life is so precious….hold your family and the people in your life that you care about tightly! Squeeze the heck out of them every single day!

    I LOVE how organic these phtographs are. It’s really difficult to find the beauty in such a tragic story, but you’ve done it. Your creativity has revealed the very soul of this woman through her family… it is moving and somehow inspiring. This lump in my throat lingered long enough that a tear made it’s way down my face. A tear of belief… a tear of hope. My best to Ricci and her soulmates.
