Familiar emotions

Noni.  It just doesn’t get any cuter than Noni.


Noni is the beloved Grandmother, and I LOVE grandparents.  After the above shot I took one more of her laughing.  She was apologizing for noticing me, because she knew I was a “photojournalist.”  She was trying to act natural for me, way too cute!

And to end the family emotions part of the story, every father’s dream.  The moment before the longest walk of his life!

I love how close people let me get to them at such a time.  It really is an honor.  They were trying so hard not to cry, and it was expressed through big big smiles!  It is so precious.
