my heart is full
meet k. she is like every other little six year old girl…except that she just had brain and skull surgery a month ago. her mother realized in the hospital that she didn’t have any pictures with her little girl…so that’s where i came in. i feel completely honored and privileged to have spent time with these two and capture them together.
little k has been through so much and yet had the most wonderful, beautiful spirit. this session was a celebration of her…and the amazing relationship she has with her mother.
I hope her mother doesn’t mind if I share her words…”a woman once told me that to have a child is to suddenly wear your heart outside of your body…exposed and vulnerable. when i became a mother, i understand those words with blinding clarity.”
go on, go give your kids a GIANT hug.

ah, melt my heart! What a cute little girl. And I love the light in the last one. 🙂
Those were so sweet. I love the one of them laying in the grass the most. that’s so cute.
Still wiping the tears. You did a beautiful job of capturing their relationship Jean!
WOW! I just may be speechless for the first time in my life. You captured the very special bond that these two share perfectly. Amazing job. What a blessing it is to be a mother.
Images are meant to evoke emotion… you did that here… those images moved me to tears. Beautiful Jean!!!
That little girl is my love and my life…..and you have captured the miracle that is…well…HER! Jean, I can’t tell you how moved I am by what you’ve done for us. I can’t stop staring at these images…to see us through your eyes…I’m overwhelmed.
Oh, to see the images, then read the mother’s comments simply overwhelmed me with emotions. K is such a strong, darling little girl and the images are ones mother and daughter can treasure for a lifetime. Once again, you’ve done anather amazing job.
These pictures are beautiful! Particulary poignant for me as this woman is my best friend and Little K is my “neice” …what a wonderful thing to see these happy and celebratory faces after having seen them marked with incredible worry, suffering, exhaustion and excruciating pain. Nothing but happy days ahead! Beautiful!!
GORGEOUS!
Oh what a beautiful girl! I esp love that last one.
These pictures brought tears to my eyes. Just beautiful.
It’s been interesting to hear the different interpretations of K’s expression in the last photo from our family and friends. As her mommy I look at that image and am reminded of a quote…Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”
*goosebumps* These are fantastic images… and the story behind them.. just beautiful.
On a side note…. I’d love to get together next month when I’m home. Kelli wants to meet up to. I have a few sessions that I’m doing while I’m there, but I can work around them.
I love that quote! Kids really are great aren’t they!
What an awesome opportunity to capture such a beautiful relationship between mother and daughter. You did a more than fabulous job!
wonderful stuff here. you are gifted me dear…
Simple and beautiful pictures. They truly captured their special relationship 🙂
So beautiful! We (as so many others) have been so blessed to be recipients of your gifts. What am I going to do to get together for you to photograph our new little one when s/he arrives?
