We 3 P's...

I debated with myself whether to include this page, given how personal and close to my heart this story is - what "3P" means to me. 

I decided to include it because this story is where my heart is and is where I come from.  And if I end up with the priveledge of earning you as a client, mutual trust will form the basis of our professional relationship.  It makes sense that you would want to know more about my backstory.  Here goes...​​​​

-------------------------------------------

​

On May 1st of last year, 2024, the physical world at large lost an incredibly talented, stunningly beautiful, and truly courageous angel - Rachel Elizabeth Hegarty - after her most bravest bout with cancer. 

Rachel was a professional Portrait and Special Occasion Photographer right here in DC and was highly sought after and known across the industry for her stunning work, her delightful client experience, and integrity above all else attitude.  Her cherry blossom sessions were always booked months in advance.

Rachel was also my beloved fiancé. 

Rachel and I, along with our 6 lb. yorkie named Milli, were a family - loving, and quirky, and fun, and always looking toward the future.  Milli and I will miss her presence and her light and her love forevermore.  

Three Pea's in a Pod we were - and nicknamed our trio accordingly. And though our names were Rachel, Brian, and Milli, we seldom referred to each other as such.  Rather, I called Rachel - Peanut.  She called me - Poppi.  We both called Milli - Punkin (countless other names too but mostly Punkin or Punk).

​

Peanut.  Poppi.  Punkin.  3 P's. 

My favorite memories.  Now you know a little more about me.  Where the grit I have which keeps me persevering onward, where it comes from, and from whom I derive my inspiration to keep going and never give up - most everything I do now, I do in honor of sweet and radiant Rachel, my true love.

Milli and I will stoicly perservere onward - sadly without Rachel here with us physically, but very much with her on our hearts and minds, always and forever.
