When I asked mom to describe E. to me she said “she is just E.!” She couldn’t have said it better! Miss E. was such a beautiful and delightful little girl! I was lucky to spend some time with her and her wonderful parents yesterday!

Looking at timeless images of children makes my heart pound. I love a look that can’t be dated, as the childhood essence and innocence transcends generations and time.  I was so lucky to photograph this beautiful family at such a wonderful location, and that they agreed to go along with my vision of creating timeless art. I have so many favorites I will have to share separate posts for each of their beautiful children!

I think of giggles and dreams, and wonder and enchantment. I love that this wonderful and beautiful family let me capture everything I perceive  childhood to be!  Z Family I had a really hard time narrowing down my favorites!
