May we raise children
who love the unloved
things- the dandelion, the
worms & spiderlings.
Children who sense
the rose needs the thorn
& run into rainswept days
the same way they
turn towards the sun…
And when they’re grown &
someone has to speak for those
who have no voice
may they draw upon that
wilder bond, those days of
tending tender things
and be the ones.
-Nicolette Sowder
There is a gentleness I have seen in Scarlett since she was a baby. A sweetness that bubbles up from within. When I read this poem I thought, that, that is her. Her tenderness is passed down from her mother. Who loves without reserve.
It was an honor to capture that sweetness in this black and white milestone session.
Scarlett,
My prayer is that you grow bold and courageous in your faith. Always loving, always trusting, and always knowing how deeply loved you are.
Lesley,
You were made for Motherhood. God hand picked and created Scarlett for you and you for her. Keep on doing all of the wonderful things you are doing and know that you, also, are loved beyond measure.
