Beautiful Moments - Last of 2009...

As most of you know, I lost my grandmother a little over a month ago now. The last four weeks have been the hardest of my life. The grief at times so overwhelming I feel like I can't breath. She was my grandmother but she was also my mother, the person who showed me the way, built my resilience, taught me to dream, taught me to be a mother...

I was unsure how I'd feel going into my first session since losing her. But I soon was amazed at how full of life I felt. Watching the "A" and "I" play and smile, their stubborn persistance, and the way that my 'tickle fingers' could easily amuse them - it all reminded me that life is beautiful. It is hard to be behind the camera, but it is not hard to photograph beautiful moments like this...

I hope you enjoy them. Thank you guys for making my last session special...
