capturing life through pictures...

  For as long as I can remember I’ve been in love with flowers.  As a small girl my grandpa would buy me a bouquet of roses for my birthday each year and I’d sit in my room smelling the soft scent and admiring the perfect petals.  He always knew how to steal my heart. […]
