What a blessing for me.... I got to photograph the sweet Fortin family... Big families are something to be thankful for. I told myself I would remember everybody's name and list them by their pic but I am so afraid I will mess up or put the wrong name with someone it doesn't belong to... I was one of 5 kids in my family and almost NO one remembered which Harter I was... I was just #4 child. It is kind of endearing now but there was one preacher who was very close to my family and he always made the effort to remember which one I was... To him I was never just #4 child but always Cindy... He is still near and dear to me... So please forgive me.. You were each important and I had such a sense of kindness from each of you.. You are so brave and holding eachother up is the gift you all give to eachother.. Thank you for spending time with me.. These are a few of the images we got in out time together :)
What a beautiful girl.. Thank you for being so easy to photograph :)
What a good man you will be soon... You were so gentle with so many sisters..
The eyes in this family are so amazing. Look at her eyes...they just draw you in :)
I love how comfy you were with me... Thank you for being so nice to a stranger with a camera in your face :)
Kindness is beautiful and her beautiful brown eyes are so kind..
Her smile could light up any room....
Look at those beautiful eyes... just like her momma
There is just something about family feet.... so many toes :)
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour work is wonderful! I believe that God has given you the gift of giving others the ability to get a glimpse of the world through His eyes. Thank you for sharing that gift and showing the world a little bit of us. It is amazing and a blessing to have these beautiful, natural snap-shots of my children, knowing that they were not forced, and that the whole experience was not stressful (an amazing feat with 7 children).
Thank you!
