Photography is my cure to rainy days, boredom, and sadness. But it’s also my celebration of life, joy, relief, and beauty. What a gift it is to GO CREATE in any kind of mood, at any kind of moment. Some use paints, others choose pottery. For me, it’s an old gem of a Nikon that is my magic wand.

Today Livia turned 13. What a joy it is to watch her grow! I didn’t carry my camera to all our celebrations this weekend, but suffice to say, Liv is one BELOVED teenager. From cards with their words of encouragement, to steak fries and malts with the Tredway side, to today’s cake with the Lawton side… this kid was bathed in love all weekend long.

Livia, you are an amazing gift to me and Dad. We love you to the moon and back. May God bless you with joy and peace as you honor Him with your life. Yours forever, Mom
