I've been doing a lot of soul searching lately. Christmas has brought it on... I guess it's all of the Ghosts of Christmas, you know the ones: debt, desire, and dream.

I hope when my wife and I are 50+ we can love each other as my clients from yesterday. She was so self conscious in the beginning, but as they began to make love her age dropped like a silk robe and she began to glow like a star. It was truly beautiful to photograph.
