"Leave her alone!" That was not only one of the first things I said as a baby but also the most common phrase out of my mouth...you see I am victim of being a second child. I had an older brother who not only bossed me about (in the most loving way I'm sure) but also spoke for me. Yes. I didn't really have a need to speak for myself. I would need something and Jonathon would just know what was best and therefore...I was a late speaker. "Leave her alone"...let me explain. Rumor has it, I was a bit of a cry baby. Jonathon would tease, I would cry, and mom would get after Jonathon. A vicious cycle. I'm told all it really took was a look (nasty or not) from my brother to set me off, tears would flow and I would become all red and blotchy (to really understand how pathetic I looked you have to understand I had VERY little hair till I was...three!) and mom would rescue me with "leave her alone". It was a common phrase for her so it became a very common phrase for me. Through it all Jonathon and I have become very close...I am lucky to have such a great guy always looking out for me. I LOVE YOU! Here is a sneak peek for you Jonathon...

Hi
I've seen your work through a few friends (Jamie and Lisa). Wonderful family portraits.
Love your photos. It's fun to see familiar surroundings.
