Today I had the absolute pleasure to photograph our long-time family friend. For someone who hates being in front of the camera, she photographed so beautifully. We shared many, ~many~ laughs, as well as a few tears. On this day, before the shoot, Gloria came across a penny in an elevator- a token of which reminds her of her beloved, late mother. As I strolled through memory lane with Gloria’s favorite moments of her mom, I couldn’t help but feel the immense love she harbored for her even still. What a beautiful experience. Thank you, Gloria for allowing me capture your rawness, and trusting me with your thoughts.
