I absolutely love this quote by Nathaniel Hawthorne.  The journey in my own life the last nine months has been so freeing, and in that freedom, realizing the weight that I have been carrying. I feel more & more free with each day!  One of these days I’m going to have someone take a picture of me running along the beach with my arms spread, feeling the freedom that is my mind, in my soul, & in my heart!!!!

As I was editing Kathleen’s photos, and even throughout her shoot, this quote kept coming to my mind! Kathleen, I know that the destination ahead will bring more freedom in your life! I am praying for you & I know you will soon feel the freedom in whatever you chose!! You are so beautiful! To capture your beauty, your soul, your fight, thank you! It wasn’t just fate that let me capture you, it was a divine set up!!!!!! Praying for you, Kathleen!! Grace & Strength be unto you!!!!!

….and a BFF picture!! Such powerful women! So thankful to know them! Amazing they are!! Both of their stories & journey’s are remarkable!!

Two posts ago, I introduced the newest member of my props selection!!!  The amazing blue chair that was given to me From Martin & Charolette!!!!

& It wouldn’t be right, if before Martin & Charolette  left for Norway, I didn’t capture them in the blue chair! Soo, upon leaving for their flight to Norway, they stopped by & we had a ten minute photo session of them with the blue chair!!! Love you, Martin & Charolette! You are so amazing! Love you! Love you!

and because i loved this one in black & white!!
