A Walk With Kelly
This is Kelly, my beautiful niece, and a woman after my own heart. Only 23 years old, and making her way in the world on her own terms.
She is both strong and gentle in spirit. Capturing Kelly is a challenge as she doesn't really like to have her photo taken. But neither do I so I tell her it's no excuse. She was willing to humour me and spend a lovely afternoon walking and talking and laughing. Spending time one on one with someone is the best way I find to reach into the soul of my subject. I love what I found that day.
She has the most beautiful smile! And she loves nature. She found a frozen leaf on the riverbed so she picked it up and spun it between her hands. So playful, but when she was finished playing, instead of tossing it on the ground, she returned it to its resting spot.
I asked her to pick her favourite image from the twenty I showed her. She chose five because she couldn't decide. They were also my favourites. This girl has a keen eye, just like her aunt. LOL. Hugs for you, Kelly. We have to to do again soon!
