Miss Nadia and her Mama

Happy 6th Birthday sweet Nadia! 
A perfect poem by E.E Cummings for you to cherish with your ever growing little lady! Enjoy.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
                                                      i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)






Birkins Family


“The happy heart runs with the river, floats on the air, lifts to the music, soars with the eagle, hopes with the prayer.”  Maya Angelou

I had the privilege of capturing this moment in time for the photogenic trio: Heather, Marshall and Brynn. So thankful I could be a part of it- its hard not to have a happy heart in families such as the Birkins. Love to you all. Enjoy!

Mr. and Mrs. Vazquez

  I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

"Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart..."

Courtney Elaine, you are so loved.







Matilda and Madeline
