Lucy is one of the reasons I decided to explore photography and to take it more seriously in college. Her images moved me and made me want to make better photos. Also, she helped me pick out my first DSLR, the Nikon D40.

We'd go on little adventures around Charlottesville with our cameras to shoot just for fun, and that 19-year-old version of me had no idea she'd be photographing her friend's family portraits ten years later.

Lucy, thank you for inspiring me to embrace the camera life and for inviting me to help document your story!
