When Suzanne Beckmann took pictures of a high school senior she’d known since the girl was in elementary school, the nation fell in love with the images.

Images of daughter with angel father capture hearts

From the Lincoln Journal Star:

Last weekend, Suzanne Beckmann took pictures of Julia Yllescas, an Aurora High School senior she’d known since the girl was in elementary school.

When she was done with those pictures — after she sat down at her computer and added a faded image of Julia’s dad — she sent them to the teenager and her mom before she posted them on the Facebook page for her business.

The last few days have been intense, Beckmann said. The photo — and the story behind it — have been picked up by media outlets around the country.

The full story can be found at the Lincoln Journal Star.

More images can be see at Fox News.
