Babe S holds a special place in my heart, and I can almost guarantee that if you met her, she'd hold a special place in yours, as well.

I knew she was a beautiful person, but her spark, joy and positivity lit up the room more than I could have imagined. I'm very grateful I had the opportunity to photograph her.
