This entry has me thinking about all the generous, talented, kind women I am lucky enough to call my friends. Beautiful, all.

I didn’t know what to title this post until I found myself humming a song written and performed by one of those friends, Emily Lord. It seemed perfect. You can learn more about this talented woman here.

Last week I was invited to take some portraits of my friend Debra’s family. I love them all, but I must say Debra has a particularly warm spot in my heart. We have been friends for close to twenty years now. Debra is the kind of person you want in your corner, and she has been there for me more than once. It was exciting for me to capture portraits of my beautiful friend.

Just to be perfectly clear, Debra and I are not old. But our friendship has that warm richness that the years bring. I am very grateful for it. What a lovely family she has.

Who are the beautiful old friends in your life? There is so much to celebrate in the Spring. I think family and friendship should be part of that. I’d love to help you capture it in a portrait.
