Let me tell you a story.

Once upon a time, nearly nineteen years ago, a family wanted a little sister. Their hearts knew there was a little sister out there somewhere.

And God planned a very special one for them, but she was very far away.

So the family took a long, long trip, met their beautiful new baby sister/daughter, and brought her home to love her always.

Her name is Lindewe, which means “waited for”.

She WAS.

She grew up knowing she was loved unconditionally by her family and friends, and also knowing that her own story began in that far, far away land. Two true things.

Lindy has been such a blessing in the life of my own family, and to so many others. I have been lucky enough to photograph her at intervals throughout her entire life.

And I really can’t believe it’s time to show HER sneak peek of HER senior pictures, which SHE asked me to take. Making these filled my heart up in ways I can’t explain.

Thank you, Rwanda. Thank you Lindy. You were worth the wait.

World, enjoy Lindy’s sneak peek! (I think she did a pretty great job growing up!) 😉
