You Are My Wild

I am your Parent; You are my Child.  I am your quiet place;  You are my wild. 

-MaryAnn Cusimano Love

I set a goal for myself to have a photograph of one, or both, of my children that reminds me who they are, or were, for each week of the year.  I didn’t know if I would do it.  Life gets busy and sometimes, only sometimes, I put my camera down.  


But I did it.  I created a set of photos that I am proud of.  I am happy to have reached my goal, of course, but I am also proud to have photographs that show both my children’s growth and my own growth as a photographer.  These two little men inspire me.  I want to capture their youth and their personalities and stow it away to look upon later and remember the giggles, the truck sounds, the fights, and most particularly the love.  

Jamie & Mark, The Grand Halle, Johnstown PA

Jamie and Mark's wedding day was filled with so many sweet touches and personal moments.  From the tears shed by Jamie's dad when he first saw her, the toast made by the groom to his bride and their guests, to the song "Till Kingdom Come" that Jamie sang for her new husband. Tears were shed, and not just by guests but by those of us allowed to witness as well.  By the end of the night, I was filled with such love and joy for the start of this beautiful marriage and so honored to have been there to witness and capture it.
