I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you’ll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance….I hope you dance.
This is a photo a shot some years ago during a photo shoot on the beach at Wild Dunes Resort. The family as I recall had such a fun and free spirited energy around them. The photos were less posed and more playful from beginning to end. I fell in love with this one.

One of my favorite of Dad’s painting is the one he did of the little girl dancing using your photo. I smile every time I walk by it.
Thank you for your help today.

Hello! I used this photo as a reference for a quick digital art sketch and fell in love with it. The movement and sweetness in your captured image is beautiful. Would you mind if I posted my digital artwork on my website with a credit to your photography? I would also like to sell prints if possible and give you some of the profit. I’m just a beginner in this space but I want to do things ethically.

Betsy, Thank you for your request and I am happy you like my photograph. I am a professional photographer and so that is appreciated. I would like to see it when it’s done. And I am sorry I did not get back to you sooner. My mother is in hospice and I have been with her
