Love Thursday Featured Fotographer: VWC Photography

just like mommy.  -- VWC Photography 

This week's featured photographer is the lovely Valerie of VWC Photography.   Last week, as I was scrolling through the images in the Shutter Sisters Flickr Pool, I came across this image and was struck not just by its beauty, but its familiarity:  I think anyone who has a daughter over the age of, say, 3, has heard little voice ask for some "lickstick," or other variation.  And any woman who fondly reminisces about her childhood probably has a memory of her mom, or a loving aunt, or grandmother, or some other adult woman barely whisking lipstick over her own lips.

Valerie's tagline is "Capturing Moments, Inspiring Memories" -- and one look at her portfolio makes it clear that her mission is definitely accomplished.   Be sure also to check out her blog to see what she's up to from day to day.

Happy Love Thursday, everyone.  Today I'm off to capture some moments and memories of my own as my husband, daughter and I head to the beach for some concentrated family time.  In the meantime, though, please leave your links to images of love in the comments section below.  And if you would like to be a Love Thursday Featured Fotographer in the future, keep adding your great photos to our Flickr Pool, and you may one day be picked!

I captured a memory without realizing it - sometimes those poignant moments are the ones you see every day, the ones you almost don't take a photo of because they are so common, the ones you keep looking for when they're gone...

My sweet cat died this week. I keep listening for him, reaching for him, looking for him. I loved him, he was such a good friend...

Lovely moment captured there. I do remember doing the same thing with my girls when they were littler.

Here is a shot of my brother and his son that I took during my nephew's 3rd birthday party last weekend. Today is his actual 3rd birthday.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to take myself away for one night of decadence - a great time to regroup and acknowledge all the love that I have in my life. Happy Love Thursday!
