ruminating on the year behind that was full of creativity, growth, trust, truth, faith, friendship, independence, laughter, tears, silence, vulnerability, communication, working together, helping each other, opening, seeing, understanding, being.
not to mention the cleaning, organizing and preparing for her special monday morning.
that is when all the singing, gift giving, hugging and story telling mostly takes place.
she is a beautiful girl — happy birthday wishes!!! :)

each of these images of your girl is so precious, what a gift she must be to you and to your family! i love all the words that you use to describe your year... it sounds just right for the relationship a mother and daughter have.
ReplyDeleteShe's stunning. It makes my throat tight thinking about my girls reaching fourteen someday. Mostly because I hope that they still love me as wildly as they do now. It sounds like yours does :)

Every single shot is stunning. Of course they are, I mean, look at her!! She is such a beautiful young woman, inside & out, and your composition & perspective are inspiring. Love that girl. And the other four of you, too :)
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are incredible.
ReplyDeleteStunning. I feel like I could type all kinds of adjectives to describe how amazing your daughter is and how beautiful these photos are. But none would do them justice. So I will sit in silence. And awe. xo
