Four years ago on the 15th of February Jim and I walked into St. Joe's hospital not knowing what was going to happen to our unborn twins. I only knew that one or both of my twins were in danger of dying. They had TTTS. A condition that effects only 15% of identical twins. That day and the days that followed were some of the hardest in my life. Thankfully, as you all know, I was one of the lucky ones! Because of the surgery I had that day I have two beautiful healthy little girls. In the past, since the girls birth, we consider this Brooke and Brianna's special day and we go and visit the doctor, Dr. Quintero, and thank him and his staff for giving us our little miracles. http://hscweb3.hsc.usf.edu/health/now/?p=138 ....However, Brooke and Brianna's special day fell on a Sunday this year and our favorite doctor wasn't in the office. Ryan was also in town! So we decided to take the family to Ybor and do family pics! What better way to be thankful to have Brooke and Brianna then capture our entire family in a beautiful photo..or alot of beautiful photos:) Of course Kristine, my wonderful business partner took our family pics!:0) and OF COURSE they turned out great!!!:) I then took Kristine's family's pics:) AND...to make it more of a special occasion we celebrated Papa's birthday after the photo shoot!...yes it was a busy day!:) and there are alot of pics here for you to see!:)

Sniff! I'm so happy for you and your beautiful family! Brooke & Brainna are lucky to have such a wonderful family. I only wish there are many more wonderful happy endings to TTTS, than sad.
So beautiful! You both did an excellent job capturing the love in your families!
So glad your TTTS surgery turned out well. I know the fear we felt just knowing TTTS was a possibility they had to monitor. Thankfully you had a successful surgery!!
Great photos, thanks for sharing!
