Catherine is beautiful. Her passion is horses, her spirit is strong. She’s a tomboy at heart, and a gentle and loving soul. She’s one of my favorite little girls. Her big brother is my Godson, and their family is our family.

Last weekend was her First Holy Communion, and as I gazed at her beautiful face in the pew in front of me, I suddenly panicked that I had forgotten my camera. It was pouring, and I didn’t care – I slipped out the back at the end of the service, jumped over puddles in my high heels, ran home and met up with them at their house, just in time to grab a few shots before she had a chance to change.

I’m so glad I did. Look at this beautiful face. I love you, Catherine.
