Hi.  I’m Moriah- one of Bethany’s sisters.  Just wanted to share some special moments with you.

 

 
The fact that I’m photographing my little sisters SENIOR photos is almost more amazing then the location we got to shoot at! (And there will be more senior pics to come because Bethany and I plan to capture every SEASON of her Senior Year! 😉 ) 
 
 
As Bethany keeps saying, “I can’t believe its really happening!”
 
 
Through my eyes-  Bethany’s inside & out beauty, surpasses even the Rocky Mountain National Park!
 
 
 
Both Bethany & The Rocky Mountains were created by God. Both strong. Both crafted over many year through patience and even some dark storms. Both undeniably lovely. Both layered and sometimes hard to navigate. Yet, both beautiful & inspiring to others.
 

 

Although they are similar through my eyes, I believe Bethany has shown me how to embrace and tackle the mountains we face. She shows me daily how to have joy in the valleys and celebrate when we reach the top!

“I may have Down Syndrome, but Down Syndrome does not have me.”

 

Let’s celebrate at the top of this mountain you have been climbing for years! Because it’s here Bethany Barclay– #SENIORYEAR!

 

Let’s Laugh lets at all the doctors and doubters that said “she wont be able to do that.” because… Oh yeah- you just did. #ForeverLearning #StudentOfLife

One of my favorite quotes is when Bethany waves her sassy index finger in the air while shaking what her momma gave her and declares in her emphatic Bethany way-

 “And that’s how it’s done!”

Hi, I’m Cindy- 35 years of “livin” with my prince charming, Jeff. I’m a home maker, not a house wife, parent of 7, memory maker, mama bear, Nana to 11 & counting, Pastor’s wife and I’m daily amazed by the depths of God’s love.

I love reading, home schooling, encouraging others, playing the piano, worshiping, dating my husband, and planning parties and retreats for our clan. Someday, I really want a horse and learn to play the cello and viola.
