Photographic Memories

I recently came across these portraits that I took about 8 years ago of my nieces, Emily and Mackenzie. These images remind me of just how quickly the days fly by, and how important it is to slow down and see all of the beauty that surrounds us!

  6. Hi Q, we do have a favorite video that my friend Mark edited for us called "Auntie Boo + The Gator Girls"... a film we made when they lived in FLA. It is most fun being an auntie, for sure!! ; )

  7. Look at these beautiful faces. Full of spirit, promise, and curiosity too.
    Oh what an impressionable age and time of life. They are like sponges, soaking up every bit of it!
    Barb, how fortunate that your family loved to take pictures and how fortunate we are that you share them with us.
    Your posts always, always leave me inspired, remembering the past and thinking about the future. Thank you for that.

  8. Hi Lisa, They grow-up so fast. We are lucky to have lots and lots of photos and videos and always spend some time looking at all of it when we are together. Emily is studying in Florence this semester, and Mack is a senior. It's quite amazing! Have a GREAT weekend!! ox
