Through the Years

Some photographs carry meaning because of the time behind them. This is someone I have watched grow up alongside my own children, part of the same circle of families and shared years. When her mom, a longtime family friend, asked for a few last minute photos before her formal dance, it felt like capturing another chapter in a story that has been unfolding for a long time.

We met in Cherry Valley and stopped briefly near a vacant building in Beaumont for a quick set before the evening began. It was a simple session, but one that quietly marked how quickly time moves from childhood memories to moments like this.
