Michael Cammarata was a NYC Firefighter, a hero, who perished on September 11, 2001. He was the youngest son. The family is SO VERY proud of him and keep his memory very much alive by celebrating his life every day. He was with Ladder Company 11 in Manhattan and was on week 9 of his 14 week probationary program. He was 22 years old.

Thank you for having me!
Wow. It’s really profound when you read about those that are affected personally by 9/11. My heart goes out to them.
What a beautiful family. Adorable kids 😉 Beautiful photographs.
Beautiful family.
And I love how mom, grandmother and the two girls matched their outfits.
Love these photos – especially the one of the parents underneath the painting laughing with their heads together and the close shot of the entire family!
Thank you so much for capturing these moments for our family, it is exactly what we hoped for and more! Now the hard part is picking our favorites!!!
