Alicia's Photograpy Blog...because life is precious.
I recently returned from a visit with my 90 year old Grandparents. It was a wonderful visit. I’m always amazed at how quickly I regress to a little girl the minute that I see them. Even though my Grandma is 90, in my mind I see her as that 60 year old Grandma who loved to go camping, travel…
Chicago may be brutally cold at times. Like today it’s -5 degrees UGHH :( . But when it snow it is truly gorgeous. I guess you have to take the bad with the good. The “S” family had a beautiful winter session and I think these images are a good example of why it’s awesome to…

absolutely beautiful!
Gracias Jaira!
Preciosa foto, no imaginas lo impactante que ha sido para muchos de nosotros.
Por estas fotografías, por momentos como este me hice fotógrafa.
Oh my goodness. This seriously made me cry. I LOVED this picture when I saw it, but after reading your story, how touching! This is absolutely beautiful and will be a very cherished picture I’m sure!
This made me tear up~my grandpa passed away from Alzheimer’s several years ago. My grandmother was devoted to him until the very last second of his life.
beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Alicia, this is simply wonderful!!! What a touching image and you have such a gift to be able to capture the feeling and emotions. So much talent, so much talent
Simply beautiful, Alicia – your story, your picture, the quote – so lovely and loving…
Beautiful!
I’m speechless and in tears…both your photo and your story are so incredibly moving!
This is one of the most beautiful photographs I’ve ever seen. Not just because it’s technically wonderful or captures a sweet moment (which it does) but because I’m immediately in love with this pair and tears come to my eyes. Most excellent photo and how lucky you are to have two beautiful grandparents!
Absolutely beautiful! The processing, sharpness, expression and REALNESS of the photo. Love it! It cannot be easy for the caretaker, but the sweet love between the couple is so evident!
how beautiful….and what a blessing that they still have each other !
I’m absolutely speechless. Stunning!
So beautiful, Alicia. Your story, the picture, the quote, just so poignant. It brings tears to my eyes…what a loving and lovely tribute.
I,too remember them when they were young and vital. I went with your mom to their house several times. The photo is beautiful.
Ohhh, this just made me tear up at my desk. How dare you make me cry at work!!
What an amazing photograph. Words cannot express how much I love this image!
Breathtakingly Beautiful…
Your photograph captured their love so throughly it is almost tangible. What a fantastic gift you have (in both your talent and your grandparents.) Many blessings to you all.
Breathtakingly Beautiful………
stunning and beautiful
Such a deep emotion caught in one “click” – I was tearing up just seeing the pick and grabbing a tissue when I read your explanation. Love it, thank you so much for sharing
This picture just brought me to tears… how incredibly touching and what a precious gift that you have to keep…
Thank you SO much for sharing it with us!

beautiful
Thanks for posting this wonderful photo. It touched my heart. My mom has this terrible disease and we’re trying our best to keep her in her home as long as possible. Some days are very stressful and some days are rewarding. I see the love between these two people when I look at this image and it give me hope.
This portrait is so beautiful. What a lovely memory that your family will have to hold onto. Both of my grandparents suffered from Alzheimers too
What an unexpected treat to wake up this morning to all of these amazing blog comments! You all made my day! I so want everyone to know my grandparents and this was as close as I could come to that wish. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart!
Stunning image and story.
I had to clear up the tears from my eyes so that I could type to tell you how beautiful this is. True beauty.
This is just wonderful. What a great great capture. So touching.
I’ve been keeping my fingers crossed to win this week’s competition. I’m now hoping you will. This is beautiful, heartwarming, tear-jerking, raw, perfection.
Coming by from I ♥ Faces–just had to tell you how much I loved this post and your photo. You got my vote!
ahh, gives me chills. touched my heart on so many levels. love it!
What a tear-jerker of an image; without a word it tells a story. Beautiful job! And your story made me tear up and think of the movie “The Notebook,” my all-time fav. movie. This definitely belongs on the wall {and in a big way}!
Really beautiful…the picture and the love portrayed.
Brought tears to my eyes…my grandmother had the same gift and oh how I miss being looked at like I am the most important person in the room in her eyes.
How amazing and touching! My grandmother passed away almost 10 years ago. We lost her first to this horrible disease though. It was so painful for everyone involved. How wonderful it would have been to have had the good moments captured to look back on. This truly is a treasure!
This is a beautiful photograph, so much emotion – an award winner!
Everything about your entry is just wonderful. Brought back beautiful memories of my own grandparents!
I love this moment! It reminds me so much of my Grandparents. Beautiful Job!
This is wonderful! The expression on his face as she caresses him is simply breathtaking. Such love and peace and joy. I am in love with it!
My great-grandma had Alzheimer’s too and only looked at my dad that way. I wish I had a picture to capture what you did. You have my vote for sure!! Thanks for sharing.
