Letters from home, 1

I've been working so hard on getting to the heart of why I leave my sweet little ones and husband to work on this.  Why I keep taking classes and constantly try to figure out what I can do to make these photographs everything I dream of.  To figure out what I can do to share this vision I'm trying to refine.  

While my family has had a beautiful and fairly easy summer, many close to me have not.  There have been losses and really scary situations with tiny little babies in hospitals.  Faith has been tested and revealed in painful and beautiful ways.  It is so much to process why I get to hug and hold my little ones every night.  Why do I get to have that sweet little hand reach up for me?  

I aim to live a life filled with gratitude.  I aim to help others around me do the same.  I hope so deeply that photos I may take of you and your loved ones give you hope.  Give you gratitude for this day, this breath, those sweet fingers reaching for yours.
