Last fall I saw a photo of myself that broke my soul.

I was standing in a beautiful studio seeing shots pop onto the screen. I stared at the images and couldn’t breathe. My stomach flipped. I was looking at a photo of me – and I couldn’t even SEE myself….

While I fully intended to bring in THREE ferns (which normally hang on my front porch, one of the ferns was home to a nest of baby sparrows – so we had to settle for just two!

Week 4 concept is MIRROR. Caitlin was such my senior team member, and she right away saw the vision and helped create some amazing photos. We went to 2 locations – both a brick alley in Parsons, and a beautiful meadow outside of town – and I LOVE what we created together!
