{Kia & Her Humans} Minneapolis, MN Family Photographer

I have been meaning to share this session for some time. It was the work out of my life keeping up with cutie Kia who at 12 (or 13) years still has the energy of a puppy. And of course her owners are some of the nicest people I know:)

Lovely family to work and run with...Enjoy!

{note that although I do have a unhealthy obsession with sunflare I did not, although came close, burn out my cornea metering for this spectacular burst of sun.}

Once I spoke the language of the flowers,
Once I understood each word the caterpillar said,
Once I smiled in secret at the gossip of the starlings,
And shared a conversation with the house fly in my bed.
Once I heard and answered all the questions of the crickets,
And joined the crying of each falling dying flake of snow,
Once I spoke the language of the flowers. . . .
How did it go?
How did it go?
Shel Silverstein {Forgotten Language}

“Our souls sit close and silently within, And their own webs from their own entrails spin; And when eyes meet far off, our sense is such, That, spider-like, we feel the tenderest touch”
John Dryden quote
