Letters to Our Daughters | May 2012

I am so fortunate to be participating in Letters to Our Daughters with several other wonderful and talented photographers. We may live in very different places and lead very different lives, but we have several ties that bind us. We are all photographers and bloggers, and we have daughters whom we adore. We express our love for our daughters in photographs and letters and share them in a circle of links on the 25th day of each month. This project launched last month, and was met with a lot of support and kind wishes. I am so thankful to all the women who took time to comment on my blog or send me a message. Your words of support mean the world to me and I can’t thank you enough.

Next in our circle is the very talented Emma Wood of Emma Wood Photography. Emma recently made the move from Australia to England with her seven children, a feat that I cannot fathom. Yet knowing Emma, I’m sure she accomplished it with relative ease and a whole lot of grace. The images of and letter to her sweet daughter Poppy that she is sharing today are very beautiful.

Your girls are so lucky to have these letters to look forward to later in life. They are so sweet and will be treasured always.

Therese - Absolutely stunning! I, too, have tears in my eyes. YOU are so blessed to have such lovely daughters, and THEY are blessed to have such a wonderful mother.

Katrina Stewart - Oh my goodness Amy. These letters are beautiful. l want to come and live next to you. l want those summers for my family as well. Where did you find those butterfly wings. They are just heavenly. What gorgeous pictures.

Jessica - Gorgeous photos and beautiful words. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. Would you be willing to email me about where I can buy those wonderful butterfly wings for my own sweet daughter? Thanks so much, she would really love those.

shalonda - stunning images…breathtaking words…your girls will truly enjoy every bit of these one day

Kirsty-Abu Dhabi - I am in awe of your beautiful words Amy… and how they pair so beautifully with these images – you have a way of saying the things in every Mama’s mind and yet weaving it with the stories of your girls lives – so very, very beautiful in every possible way

karren hubrich - I LOVE your letter to your butterfly girls. You are an excellent writer and photographer. I am a grandmother with 8 granddaughters, and 4 grandsons. I LOVE photographing them. I’m not in business…just an amatuer hobbiest who is trying to improve my photography. Thanks to clickin moms, I am learning a lot. I am interested in finding these butterfly wings. where did you locate them? I have a couple of little granddaughters who would love them. Thanks for your help.

Rashmi - Oh Amy. The words.. the photos… sigh… just so beautiful . And how true.. indeed we watch their wings grow, watch them soar.. our hearts breaking a little bit.. and hoping and praying that they will always know they have a home to come home too. sniff.

Rashmi - PS: my daughters have the same butterfly wings. <3

Jody - Amy! I love this! The photos are stunning of course (I love how so many of the photos are from the back as if they are flying away and the light is gorgeous) but I especially love your words. Your butterfly analogy is just perfect.

Julia - I love this so much. The love you feel is so evident in your words as well as in your images. Your letter moved me to tears, what a perfect metaphor for the way we feel about our children, and how we hope that they’ll always find their way home. Love <3

Kelly - I have been following your blog for a while now and have never commented, but felt I had to after seeing these. Can you share where you got these wings? These images are breathtaking and gave me goosebumps. So special xo

Leslie - I adore these letters… I should start a collection of letters to my boys complete with pictures too. Hmm…

The pictures are stunning. The light is perfect and there is just this sweet innocence about them – so sweet.

Karen - Followed the link from red balloon photography……..beautiful letters. I’ve been inspired to write these letters to my own daughters and who knows maybe a UK circle will start here…….thanks for sharing.
