She looks ahead. Finds wonder in the tiniest spaces. Takes time to notice the magic of leaves, the peace in stillness, and the sparkle...

Look ahead. Look up. Know where your power comes from. Know you are loved.

A sleeping baby. A dedicated sister. A brother who's becoming a man. A first love. A dress made my hand. A speech that brings a tear....

Perpetually late. Contagiously enthusiastic. Believer in the energy of trees. Love deeply. Fight always. Show up. She is the blueprint.

Energy isn't lost, it changes. Mom used to shoot on this same Pentax K1000. I hope I make her proud.
