I had the privilege to accompany a close friend and her family to a cemetery on Sunday to honor the memory of both her father and youngest sister whose birthdays were this month.
It is a large Italian family with 10 children - 4 men and 5 woman - still living. The elegance and faith of their mother is undeniable. I loved being able to capture the life of this group of strong women even in the midst of a sad afternoon.
Check out some more photos from other folks at Lisa's blog.

Great group of women, indeed. And I love the last picture of the staue. Nice shot!

I agree...that last picture of the angel is so beautiful. The angle in which you took the picture just makes it. There is something so serene about a cemetery. I could honestly sit in silence for hours there.
Those pictures are lovely. I am so glad that you could capture something special for them. They are beautiful women indeed!
Beautiful pictures, strength and love comes through these pictures.
Sweet pictures. I especially love the second one!
Love them all, but the one of the angel is great with the dark cross and the pristine white of the sculpture!!
Blessings, Ashley
