Live life, go ahead and slide -Chicago Area Family Photojournalist

We all know people who shy away from the camera and say "NO, don't take my picture." They say I look too... this or that... I don't look perfect. Sometimes I feel like that too.

My family went sledding this weekend with my hubby's aunt who came in from FL. She said she hadn't seen snow in more than 20... or was it 30 years.
I had prepared images of my family sledding for this blog but instead decided to highlight someone who would rather stand in the background. Her love of God, family, and life is apparent to whoever she encounters. Just look at her face as she slides down the hill, pure JOY. While I made stupid excuses for not sledding down the hill, she jumped right at the chance.

AME, you light up our lives with laughter and love. Next time I will put down the camera and slide down the hill. Thank you for showing me through example what it is to live life.
