A Nebraska photographer has created something amazing for a teen … senior pictures with her fallen Army father.

Susanne Beckmann has shown that she is not only an incredible photographer, but an equally incredible person. She has created something for Julia Yllescas that in my view is priceless!

Julia’s father, U.S. Army Capt. Robert J. Yllescas received fatal injuries from an improvised explosive device in Afghanistan. That was 2008.

Now in 2019 the teen has some breathtaking senior photos honoring her hero father! Stars And Stripes reports that Julia said, “It almost felt, when I saw those pictures, that he truly was there.”

You can see more of Susanne’s amazing photos at her website Snapshots By Suz or her photography Facebook page.
