The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages that you’ve been.  ~ Madeleine L’Engle

Indulge me for a moment, won’t you?

There are times when I can see the smiling girl she’s always been…

…the confident woman she’s becoming…

every age she’s ever been – all at once.

Changing as magically as the light at the end of the day…

…and I can’t help but catch my breath and watch.

  1. Oh My Sarabeth!
    I adore these photos, especially the first and third.  The look in her eyes is so powerful: Unwavering, confident, hopeful, calm.Â
    A look she has due to a loving home, strength that’s been nurtured, a spirit that has been allowed to roam and grow as it will. 

    And the dress, is lovely.

  2. Lovely! How did you not cry?

    Thank you for sending these beautiful prictures of such a lovely young lady.Â
    You have to be so proud to have captured these for future enjoyment.
    My question is; are you sure this is my Granddaughter?

    Thank You, Sarabeth could we possibly have an 8X10 for our kitchen wall?  You also said you would send me a new one of you and Bryan.

    These pictures are a work of art, thank you for sharing.
