Something about these images just really gets to my heart. I think it’s partly because I have two sisters, and partly because I’ve known these girls’ mama for a while, and respect and love her a ton. I posted in all black and white, because I feel that there is more emotion behind black and white. It really allows the subject, in this case, the cutest, most darling girls, to speak. I think I am feeling sentimental…

I met Amy when I first started on my teaching journey…. She was a second grade teacher, I was a building substitute. I got to sit in Amy’s classroom and watch her teach. Let me tell you, Amy is a phenomenal teacher. I soaked up every little bit of her excellence as a teacher that I could. If I was a good teacher, I owe so much of it her.

Amy was also the first person to tell me I needed to start charging for my photography business. I remember the conversation vividly… we were right outside my kindergarten classroom, and she told me that pretty confidently, I should start charging. I was stunned, and wasn’t really sure if I should take her advice…but looking back … I am really overwhelmed with thankfulness for her. For believing in me. Thank you Amy. You and your girls are beautiful.
