Home is where your heart is.

There's an ache in me

a tender yearning

that only you can soothe.

its in your unkempt nature

and wizened grooves

in those lush sweeps

and rugged peaks

you are restless

and steady

your center thrums with life

and I know I'm ready 

my fingertips brush

copses and bark

legs prickle

so unseemly and stark

until I ascend

your sprawling summit

and immerse myself

 in the sweet surrender 

only then will peace and wholeness

overcome me,

 there is no comparable splendor.

Catch them.

Moments. They pass so fast.

I remember when I was little I told myself that I would remember every moment of my life.
At that point and time I had no idea how vast time was. How each second slips as it happens.
It is our responsibility to catch those moments, before they're gone. To cherish, and hold close. Now I know there are memories. But with time, they lose their clarity.
These are the moments that shape the rest our lives.
I just want to really encourage everyone, to preserve what they can, to the best of their ability.
Those precious little toes. Kisses that warm you to the bone. Hands that ardently cling to yours, searching guidance. Adoring glances.
Make those moments more than memorable. Make them palpable.

I want to open up a bit about what has provoked me to share this. Our family was just recently dealt the news that there would be a huge change in my husband's career.
I can only pray for safe travels, and never take life or it's precious moments for granted.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures that have been in our family-

This picture of my mom and dad

was taken while I was in the hospital on their homecoming night. See the flowers in the background? It was the first night  my mother left my side after I'd been there for 3 weeks. My sister was conceived that night. Two days later I was transported to Morgantown hospital where I received my 4th and final surgery. Two weeks after that, I was fully recovered and sent home.  My mom and dad were all of 17 years old.

Cooper

Yesterday I had the joy of capturing baby Cooper. At only 11 days old, he was sweetness overload. Thank you Breann and Luke for giving me the opportunity me to spend time with your beautiful family!

 

 

 

 

Emily

Remember that shoot I was telling you about yesterday? This is her! Isn't she gorgeous?? Emily is in the process of establishing her own costume design business. I can't tell you how much I loved getting to know her again (since middle school!). Her love for history and fabric was infectious. <3
