Gone nearly 20 years, I’m still so frequently reminded of her. Though I’m not keen on the season of cold and dark, it inevitably brings me back to continuing the genealogical research my grandmother passed along to me. Century-old photographs are among my treasures. How could they have possibly known the significance of their preserved images! As much as I love the digital age, I wonder what will remain to represent our memory.

[My two cents: need a Christmas gift idea? Do a photo project that includes names, dates. What a gift!]

One of the pure delights I have as a photographer is to watch my clients grow. I was there when this couple became Mr & Mrs and was thrilled to be invited to capture images of their first and second daughter. And now they have their son… a handsome for sure! One thing I know for certain, these kids are well-loved! How happy it makes me to have a small part in their family!
