You captured me at such a pivotal time in my life and I will cherish the portraits from this shoot for a lifetime... perhaps even sharing them with my future grandkids someday and letting them know that this was a time of my life when I was challenged with grief, loss, immense love and self discovery through seeking joy in all the little moments, like the smiles we exchanged with your lens in between us.
