"Children are the hands by which we take hold of Heaven"

I always enjoy when the focus of my lens is those that are closest to my heart.  And right from the beginning, they have been my subjects time and time again.  They continue to help me hone my skills and find my style.  Late in the summer, we were together for an extended weekend and were able to fit in a quick photo shoot - and when I say quick, I mean about 20 minutes.

"Grandparents, like hero's, are as necessary to a child's growth as vitamins."

"I hope your dreams take you to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes...

 To the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known."

"What is it that you express in your eyes...

 

It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life."

 "You are loved just as you are right this very moment...

The world has become more wonderful just because you are here."

"He is my most beloved friend & my bitterest rival

My confidant and my betrayer

My sustainer and my dependent

And scariest of all, my equal."

"You Aren't Wealthy Until You Have Something Money Can't Buy."

Back in August, I headed to Durand Eastman Park with this lovely family.  In the couple of hours we spent together we came across so many great places within the park to take advantage of.  It almost looks like we had 3 different mini shoots! 

"Time is made up of captured moments and things shared...

 And time spent together...

 Become the memories that the heart never forgets."

"I walk beside you, where ever you are, whatever it takes, no matter how far."

"Where we love is home...

Home that the feet may leave, but not our hearts."

"The beauty of a girl cannot be mimicked, fabricated, or created by human means, it only occurs naturally."

"With you in my life I am blessed."

"A daughter may outgrow your lap...

 But she will never outgrow your heart."

"Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments...

 Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole...

Life is a succession of such moments....

And to live each, is to succeed."

"We can only be said to be alive

In those moments when our hearts

Are conscious of our treasures."
