Joy Claire

[Winston-Salem, NC]

my precious baby sister came to visit Winston this weekend-- all the way from that certain mitten-shaped state that has become her home since the fall.  (we all know she belongs in the south and near the sea, but won't say it aloud.)  

Joy is a breath of fresh air.  an authentic, raw, gentle breeze.  some ladies wear their hearts on their selves, Joy's is all over her being.  

this year she will graduate high school and move on to better her education.  if she knows what's good for her it'll be here in the south.  (she has a fine offer in the north, but we'll cross that bridge when it comes.)

while Joy was in town we spent an afternoon taking her senior portraits.  in the image above she found herself right at home in a bed of daisies. 

what fine lives we live.
