“The better part of one’s life consists of her friendships.”
- Abraham Lincoln

This is my friend, the one who’s been around the longest, nearly 30 years now! (WOW!!!) You may recall seeing her family on my blog not long ago. Her dear husband recently passed away and it’s been a long road of up’s and down’s since then. We decided to get some pictures of her and her beautiful children. For me it was a blast. For her I’m sure it was stressful trying to get kids ready, getting them to look, to cooperate. I loved every minute of it. My heart can’t help but feel a twinge of pain as I look at her children, especially her oldest and think life is not fair for time to move so swiftly. It honestly does seem like yesterday that I headed up to the hospital to hold her 1st beautiful baby in my arms. And then to hold her 2nd, 3rd, and 4th babies who were just as beautiful. I guess I need to stop stressing over these fleeting moments and truly enjoy them to their fullest. I tried to do this as I photographed them. There is something about looking through the lens of my camera, like I can see deep into their soul. It’s a beautiful thing! Okay sorry to be all sappy……I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking!
