childhood story

 
I am only 9 years old, so childhood is all I know. I enjoy being outside and the beauty of nature. All the colors of the flowers and the earth inspire me to write poems. It is amazing to watch butterflies flying and trees blowing, knowing that everything was created by God. I love to write poems, and describe my feelings with words. I enjoy playing with my friends, and I am grateful to have the love and support of my mom and dad. I love my baby doll and my favorite food is Taco Bell. “Yo quiero Taco bell!”

Although I always loved to take photographs, I was a journalist for
the last 28 years of my professional career, which provided me the
opportunity to travel and reason to continue to take photographs.
Basically, I consider myself as a photography educator.

-As a photographer, I wanted to capture
the many different emotions of this child poet.
However, I quickly realized that the emotion
she most often feels is joy.
