Dear Jocelyn,
You are strong.
2013 maybe, the day I met you. The day you took my family photos was the start of something special. When we parted ways after our session, Wacey asked me how we even knew each other because of the chemistry. Girl, that's all you. Not only was it our first time getting family photos done, you know why it was bomb to finally meet! I don't need to explain myself! You radiate with warmth. You might not feel it all the time, but your confidence is real. You have made me feel like I'm worth everything I work hard for, and you continue to make everyone around you feel important.
It was maybe was a year or two later you when asked me to do your boudoir photos ;) Which we killed it by the way. Even though most of our time spent together had a lot to do with photography, I have had unforgettable memories with you. You've taught to me to own up to my worth. You've taught me I'm not the only one that waits impatiently for seasonal horchata beer. Lastly, you've taught me to never be afraid to be myself. Your love, kindness, and genuine approach to living life doesn't go unnoticed.
Fast forward to this year, 2017. Between then and now.. the talks, the laughs... our big cry in my kitchen the last time I saw you.. girl, I love you, and I'm so proud of you! In a reality where I was educated enough for basic grammar, and with a profound vocabulary is where you could actually feel what you mean to me. It's a shit ton.
Your Tata is lucky to have you, Joce. Your heart may ache, but don't forget that it also carries a love that could move mountains.
With all the love in the universe,
-Georgia
