Life is so amazing.  This is what I realize every time I slow down enough to notice.  We don’t always know what lies ahead and often,  what seems to be a brief crossing of paths, is much, much more.  We don’t know how long or short or often our journeys together will be, or where they will take us.  We don’t know what lies in the hearts of the people we encounter everyday…but sometimes when we least expect it, we find someone who is a kindred spirit and a nourishment for our hearts.  For this, I am grateful, truly truly grateful.

I photographed this family last Fall, and they recently added a new little one to their home!   What a great honor to meet and capture her sweet, little, brand new spirit.
