Family Ties Pinehurst, NC Photographer

In every conceivable manner, the family is a link to our past, a bridge to our future.

~Alex Haley

In truth a family is what you make it. It is made strong, not by number of heads counted at the dinner table, but by the rituals you help family members create; by the memories you share; by the commitment of time, caring, and love you show to one another; and by the hopes of the future you have as individuals and as a unit.
~M. Kennedy and Janet Spencer King



It’s not what we have in our life, but who we have in our life that counts.
J. M. Laurence

A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.

~Cardinal Mermillod

I see children as kites. You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground. You run with them until you're both breathless. They crash . . . you add a longer tail . . . you patch and comfort, adjust and teach. You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them that someday they'll fly.

~Erma Bombeck

I had such a wonderful time meeting this family and learning a little about them. If you have been on the Face Book Page recently, you've seen some events listed for a little girl named Izzy. Izzy is a 3 year old fighting stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma. Please visit her Face Book page or her website to learn more about this sweet soul. There are also several local events where the funds will go to the Izzy Foundation. Please join me in prayer for this little girl and her family, for wisdom for the doctors, and for peace. If you would like to purchase a purple Izzy bracelet or donate to the Izzy Foundation, please contact me at OrganiquePhoto@yahoo.com for the address where you may mail a check, or click on Izzy's photo in the sidebar to be directed to her FB page for information on events.
