Penning Photography Daily

Kelly, otherwise known as Mochamomma, posing in the “Travelling Red Dress” at sunset on the Sugar Creek Covered Bridge.

I could have titled this one completely confident, or utterly joyful, or any number of superlatives. Kelly is one tough lady that has the stuff to climb mountains and other roadblocks along life’s road and still have a smile, and something left to give to everyone she meets. No coddling allowed, for herself nor the folks that she guides as a part of the local school district, but compassion and understanding is a big part of who she is.

Looking through my recent catalog for today’s photo, I was again grabbed by her smile, and the way her personality came out in this portrait. The sunset was full on in color, with the big orange orb about to slip under the horizon. We had such fun, that I wanted to post another one from that session. A nice way to counteract the gray skies that dominated the cold late autumn day.

So Kelly, here’s a reminder of how beautiful you are, all the way through.
