Townsend Family


I admire and adore this family. They are the epitome of a joyful, successful family. They have such gorgeous and loving children, and the parents are so charitable. They are a fun-loving family that I look up to.
I love their mother, she has helped me through some very difficult times. I was thrilled to take their pictures before we moved to Houston.
You will be missed Townsend Family.

What a wonderful experience visiting this beautiful place, with so much history and meaning.
We traveled far and wide, to different countries around Israel, but spent the majority of our time in Jerusalem. "Oh Jerusalem".
