I watched her from a distance for years and often wondered what her world was like.  I was always taken back by her grandmother’s devotion, unconditional love and enduring affection & dedication.  Then a few years later, through a mutual friend, I connected with her family.  Who would have ever imagined?  I had the privilege of spending a quiet afternoon with Kayle and her family.  As I was taking her pictures, I realized just how important the simple things in life are – like a smile, a hug, a walk in the park with your family…  Kayle is blessed to have such a loving family, but they are so much more blessed having Kayle.  She shares a simple yet impactful message  - EMBRACE life – it is a gift!    Thank you for trusting and allowing me to capture these images.   I pray that some day you will look back at them and smile.

I know it has been a while since I have visited my blog to post, but life has been crazy and I have decided to “take it easy” and “enjoy the ride.”  This Saturday we spent over seven hours at a baseball complex.  Yes of course I took some pictures of the game action.  But how many baseball pictures can you take?  I couldn’t help but take advantage of this beautiful day to get some shots of Meg.  She is always reluctant to have her picture taken, but after some negotiating (some might refer to this technique as threatening instead) she agreed and this is what I got.
