A lovely young woman, with beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing them, both of you.
Intense and soulful! This is a young lady with PLANS.
She just gets prettier every day, doesn’t she? Your face and her mother’s hair.
:-)
These are SO good!
Wonderful stuff,
She looks witchy and powerful – and also, coincidentally, like she can kill you with her brain. Lovely shots!
She comes across as a force to be reckoned with, yet relaxed and comfortable in her own skin.
Kudos to the young lady, both parents, and the photographer.
WHAT a pretty girl. But she’s lucky in her parents–your love and pride just shine through.
Brains, soul, talent and beauty – you captured it all. She’s a lucky young woman. Luckier still to have parents who love and support her, and encourage her to be her own woman. Also, the name Athena is just too cool.
Bottom left picture:I would have sworn it was Krissy. I think I saw Krissy in that very pose on the JoCo cruise.
Isn’t it fascinating to watch how much our children change who they look like over time? I remember thinking Athena looked just like you, John, and now she looks like her mother.
Lovely pics of Athena.
That is the most heart melting smile in picture 4. Dawww.
Lovely young woman. Great photos.
She’s lovely! And looks so much like her mother.
Something about the hair and the direct gaze and the black and white really makes her look like a photo from the 1880s-1910s. Nice.
I concur, Athena looks more like Krissy every time you post a pic!
It’s fun to watch other people’s children grow up, even if only in pictures.
A collaboration of love on many levels. A joy to see.
Wow, those eyes are just, wow.
Wow! When did her hair get so wavy and full and awesome? My stick straight hair and I are jealous.
Where so the years GO? She’s looking like a young woman all of a sudden, instead of a girl.
Are you sure, that these pictures were not shot by Hickory or Dickory? :D
