For my very first post, I wanted to photograph someone that means a great deal to me. In many ways, I look up to my little sister. She is only ten and she already possesses a compassion and love for life and her family that cannot be easily matched. I have always shared a special bond with her, from the moment I witnessed her birth. It's so silly to admit, but I would trust my little sister with my life. It has been a bittersweet experience watching her grow and mature and fly through emotions that I felt at her age (and sometimes handle them better). I see so much of myself in her and I am so proud to be her big sissy. I love you Alyssa! And I am always here for you.
My baby sister, Alyssa Nicole Viernes, has reached a decade.
