My daughter Maya and I went to the father-daughter dance at the Nixa Community Center. We had an amazing time! When I am shooting a wedding and I am at a reception watching the father-daughter dance, I always tear up while shooting thinking about the day I get to do that with my daughter. I am not ready to let her go and tonight was a true testament of that. I don't think she knows, but as we slow danced with each other, I cried inside thinking of the day my daughter will rely on the support of a man other than me. She is a wonderful girl, unique and interesting with no worry about how others see her. When I watch "Father of the Bride" I see us. She is daddy's little girl and I wouldn't want it any other way. Daughters are a father's legacy because a daughter looks to their dad to see what a man can offer them, and I want to work every day to show her what a REAL man is....kind....caring....loving....thoughtful.
