The more I sat and talked with this mother and daughter, the more I was awakened to the history being recorded in this session. I know to them their lives probably seem ordinary and average, but as the session began to unfold, it was evident to me how much time and love they invested into their relationship. As I look at each captured image, it's almost as if I can imagine video clips of their life together. I was truly astounded at how much this daughter honored, respected and cared for her mother. 
Hands have a history too!
Hands have a history too! Throughout our lives, we all have a choice about what we put our hands to. I hope that when I look back on my life, I'll find that I have learned from this mother and daughter's example. I hope that my hands would not be idle through the years but that I would make choices to care for and nurture my relationship with my children. When life turns around on me and old age sets in, I want to look back with no regrets and enjoy the investments I made in my children.
Thank you so much for letting me share this experience with both of you. I know you never intended to walk into my studio and teach me anything, but you did. As God would have it, I walked away with many reminders about how precious and rewarding relationships between a parent and child can be!
Many blessings to you both!
