Jamie has many sides to her. One side that not everyone gets to see is her silly, playful personality. Though, don’t get me wrong – Jamie is mostly business. I mean she does have to run the whole Sanctuary and it’s not going to run itself! However, it is really fun to watch Jamie let loose, be goofy, and maybe even be a tad bit vulnerable. Today was one of those silly, carefree, read a book, walk around, lounge around days. You might not be able to tell in these photos how goofy Jamie was being, but Jamie let me take tons of photos today almost as though she was really enjoying the photo shoot. I would show her the picture after to see if she liked it; Jamie would nod her head and then we would take some more!
Before the photo shoot Jamie did have to make sure the volunteers were cleaning:
There is a page from Jamie’s boot book in her pelvic pocket:
Jamie:
Days like today make me feel very blessed to be a friend to the Cle Elum Seven.
She really *was* cooperating! Must be spring!
She’s smiling with her eyes.
Love those pictures! Have followed for quite awhile but first time commenting! Am in love with the Cle Elum Seven!
Jamie has the most intriguing eyes. So bright and beautiful. Wonderful portraits of our beloved Jamie, thank you Kelsi. And yes, you are truly blessed to have the Cle Elum Seven as your close companions. (I am so jealous!)
I find it so amusing that you show Jamie her picture after you take it and that she nods her approval and then poses for more.
She is absolutely beautiful!
Wow. Just……wow. 🙂
ditto Jordan’s … wow.. just….wow 🙂 …. incredible eyes.. clearly posing with intention… oh to be inside that brain for even 20 seconds… Thanks Kelsi… the 7 and their amazing crew make so many days for so many people!
Love you Jamie!
I love these photographs! There is just something about Jamie’s eyes which capture me. If I feel beguiled by seeing her in photographs and videos, I can only imagine what someone with the privilege of working with Jamie must feel in her presence. And how heartening to read that Jamie nods her head in approval upon seeing her printed image.
