What a special girl Ms. Stephanie is.  Her family came together to give her a very intimate family celebration.  Lots of tears, hugs and loves.  All her family had a special role in her celebration.

For Ms. Stephanie, we actually came together on two occasions.  The first was up in Knights Ferry, because she really wanted to go into the water.  As I write this we are in the middle of winter, but I remember in September when we photographed her it was a warm day.  With the exception of the river….burr chilly.  But she was  trooper and we did it!

Here are a few of my favorites from our time together.  ♥ oxox
