{like a river}

I'll wait no more for you like a daughter
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you, forever
Like a river...

In the river I know I will find the key
And your voice will rise like spray
In the moment of knowing
The tide will wash away my doubts

'Cause you're already home
Making it nice for when I come
Like the way I find my bed turned down
Coming in from a late night out

Please keep reminding me
Of what in my soul I know is true
Come in my boat, there is a seat beside me
And two or three stars we can gaze into

I'll wait no more for you like a daughter
That part of our life together is over
But I will wait for you forever
Like a river...
{c. simon}



i will always be grateful for being your daughter. four years ago today you got your wings and flew away. i miss you mom ... forever and one day. xo

{i heart faces}

this is my entry in i heart faces contest. this is for a blurb book - which is awesome and i would love to be included. to choose my best face shot is really impossible. but suffice to say this has been an absolute favorite of mine since the day i took it. sweet clara noelle. can you stand how adorable she is?! she was a pleasure to shoot and i will always remember it as one of my cherished baby sessions.

{celebrate}

i was honored to photograph this beautiful family celebrating their nana's 90th birthday celebration. 90! amazing. nothing can beat family moments. there is something so special about a family gathering together to honor one of their own. there was a lot of love and fun in the air. here is a glimpse.

{the prom}

i remember it like it was yesterday. my prom. my date - the fabulous college boy that was one of my brothers best friends. my dress - oh how i loved my dress. i would wear my dress today it was that fantastic {fire engine red, strapless, accordian pleats with tiny swiss dots in white, coupled with the most fantastic pair of black spiky sandals that i would kill to have back in my closet} if i had my scanner i would include a photo now but alas annie stepped on it and the glass shattered. don't ask.

anyway..............here is the very handsome adam. my nephew in connecticut. i lucked out by being there this past weekend - he donned his attire early in the day so he could visit my dad in the hospital and show him his tux. the uhaul truck was filled with items from my parents home that are being divided among us kids stored in my my sisters basement {poor girl} and the tractor was parked in my sisters townhouse complex for future work - made for a fun background. and now the fabulous adam.
