It’s hard to know that the person who would have valued these photos the most won’t get to see them.
And yet, in so many ways, she was there.
In the smile. In the laughter. In the strength and grace of the young woman standing in front of my camera.
What a gift it was to witness this milestone. What a privilege it was to capture it.
And what a reminder that love leaves a mark that even death cannot erase.
Congratulations, Mary! I am so proud of you!
