If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past few months, it’s that sunrise speaks to the contours of the heart where hope & joy reside. Even when those contours get bruised or when doubt creeps in, a sunrise can banish all the unwanted and usher in more good than previously possible. When I wear this dress, I am reminded of the blush hues of dawn. The morning these shots were taken was bright & clear and though it was just past sunrise, I couldn’t help but be gladdened by the warmth of the Florida sun and take comfort in knowing that it shines daily, without fail, on us all.
