Share the Joy Thursday



Today Meri asks 
WHAT GIVES YOU JOY?


JOY was given to me by 
having the opportunity to photograph this family
of beautiful people,
family reunion of Kwaku and Barbara Bediko



Family faces are magic mirrors. 
Looking at people who belong to us, 
we see the past, present and future. 
We make discoveries about ourselves.

Deb,
These smiling faces, the joy present and the love being shared is palpable. It takes my breath away. I love what you did pairing those two photos of the couple together and I love the picture of the grandpa and granddaughter. They are all lovely photos, shining and glorious!

My granny squeezing my face to steal a kiss and plant her mark... what I would give to feel that again!
What wonderful images - and what lovely memories followed in their wake!
Thank you.
