I’ve been going through my archives over the past few days, and I stumbled across this photograph of my daughter resting her head on her father’s shoulder. At the time, Alex was about 2 years old. She’s only 4 now, yet the feeling of nostalgia that washed over me as I looked at this shot was palpable. Alex and my husband remain as close as ever; but this image made me realize how long that closeness has existed. I love the soulfulness in her eyes. This is definitely one she’ll hang in her college dorm room.
Happy Love Thursday, everyone. As always, please leave your links of love in the comments section below, and be sure to check out the beautiful shots left by lorelairoark and VWC Photography in our Shutter Sisters Flickr pool.
For those of you who will be attending BlogHer, I look forward to meeting you at the Shutter Sisters Photo Walk! My husband bought me a point-and-shoot camera (a Nikon Coolpix!), and I have NO idea how to use it. I’ll be looking for tips from you all!
And may you shoot lots of memories today.

Kathleen says
For over a year now, my little guy and I have been taking pretty much the same walk around our downtown area. It includes a stop at the local coffee shop, a walk over the river, a search for turtles, and a rest at this little circular garden with a rock wall. Imagine my surprise when I realized after a year that I was sitting on this…I don’t know how I missed it!

What a beautiful photo of Alex and Marcus! I love how his eyes are closed and Alex’s are wide open with such depth and soulfulness.
Have fun at BlogHer, and as a former Nikon Coolpix user, I have to say that is a great little camera (don’t know which one you have, but I’ve had 3 in my lifetime, so I’m sure it’s great).
Happy Love Thursday!

Beautiful, soulful picture! I am loving your site. I would love to have one of your buttons for my site (not the photo walk at Blogher cause I won’t be able to go to that..but the one for the Shutter Sisters blog site) – how do I get one of those to post on my blog?
Your site is the best!

I’ve been looking at self-portraits i took when i was at college, and have been feeling a lot of tenderness towards the 22-year-old i see in the photos. This one from 1995 is particularly poignant, as it was just before i moved to London, and i can see how vulnerable i felt:

Summer says
I’ve lost my camera and it has put me in quite a funk so no contributions for the last few months. This last weekend I borrowed my SIL’s point and shoot and went snap happy.
Here is one of those moments from a beautiful summer weekend. I’m so blessed to have these girls love on my little girl and be such a wonderful influence on her.
