In loving memory…

My last post asked for prayers for Alexa and her family, and sadly, Alexa passed away yesterday in the loving arms of her Mommy and Daddy.  I sat down today to look through her session from last August and their happy memories, and suddenly my daughter appeared at my elbow.

“Oh Mommy…is she a princess?”

“Yes sweetheart, she is.  Princess Alexa.  The most beautiful princess of them all.”

Thank you Princess Alexa, for all that you have taught me about never giving up, living life to it’s fullest, and loving beyond any border, even that of Heaven.

I hope you are twirling in your princess dress and laughing with the angels.

    I was so sad to read of Alexa’s passing…I’ve been following her for a very long time. I remember how happy her mom was with the Sugar pictures–they are breathtaking. Yes, she is a princess.

    I just love that first picture – what a gorgeous little girl. I am saddened to hear of such an immense loss, and will be praying for her family. I’m sure they consider your photographs treasures of their beautiful princess!
