I had completely forgotten what it meant to be a little girl...specifically, what it meant to be a four year old little girl...until I met Kameron. For one hour, I smiled so much my cheeks hurt...we all did. We laughed and skipped and kept up with Kameron (as best we could) and for a short time...I completely forgot what it means to be an adult. But for all the loud-laughing, fast-moving fun we had, I fell in love with Kameron when, at the end of the session, she quietly, ever-so-sweetly placed her hand in mine as we crossed the street. (Happy Sigh)
Tiffany is so very lucky to have this tiny little wonder of girlishness and giggles, forever energy and outrageous stories. And likewise, Kameron is ever so lucky to have been blessed with such a beautiful, quick-to-laugh, loving, sensitive mother. I felt as if I was not only documenting an ephemeral moment in their lives, but also witnessing the joyful future of their relationship as mother and daughter.

Maybe the first time you saw her you were ten.
She was standing in the sun scratching her legs.
Or tracing letters in the dirt with a stick.
Her hair was being pulled.
Or she was pulling someone's hair.
And a part of you was drawn to her,
and a part of you resisted - wanting to ride off
on your bicycle, kick a stone, remain uncomplicated.
In the same breath you felt the strength of a man,
and a self-pity that made you feel small and hurt.
Part of you thought: Please don't look at me.
If you don't, I can still turn away.
And part of you thought: Look at me.

The History of Love
Ashley and Dustin's romance began well before they knew the definition of love. They were small children, from the same small Ohio town, where each of their fathers attended high school together long before they were fathers, where every child of the same age played together, where everyone knows everyone. In time, Ashley and Dustin grew up, went their separate ways, and were eventually drawn back to La Rue to be serendipitously reintroduced by their families. And it is in this same small town where they will put down roots of their own as husband and wife, cultivate shared memories and grow their lives together in they place where they began.

How I adore this little family. They came into my life just over a year ago when Jennifer and Phil asked me to document their sweet, intimate wedding day at Hyde Park in the Short North. It was so very special watching them become a family that day...and it was equally special seeing them a year later, blissful as ever, and as loving as the day they were married. I have to say...I was especially enamored with seeing what a lovely, spunky, smart little girl Peyton has become. Peyton is absolutely the sparkling center of their world and it's so very easy to see why. She is quick to giggle, perpetually curious and eager to play...all while Jennifer and Phil look on in joy and wonder. I truly believe these three were meant to brighten each others' lives, they were meant to be a family...plain and simple.
