Softer Side

January 15, 2025 by Kelsi

I love every part about Jamie. She is bossy, bold, determined, smart, independent, curious, and even abrupt. However, I adore the softer side of Jamie, when she allows her more vulnerable side to show. There is something deeply moving about witnessing when Jamie lets her guard down and relaxes.

Please enjoy this very close up photo series of Jamie! I think it shows her relaxed but curious side 🙂

    It says something that she let you take that many pictures of her before shooing you away. 😀

    Jamie!?
    I really admire her so much. Her smarts, her determination, and her unwillingness to back down. Her unwavering spirit is an inspiration. Also she’s just plain cool!!!

    You two go waaaaay back!
    I love that she’s smart and sassy, but I don’t love that she sometimes does not use her powers for good! 🙂

    Those eyes! That face! I don’t think there’s a word that I could use to describe how I feel about Jamie. It’s a feeling only the heart can express.

    How fortunate you are to be the recipient of Jamie’s soft side.

    What a beautiful photo collection of the one and only Jamie. I wonder what thoughts were going through her mind during this photo shoot.She certainly looks very serene and those soulful eyes justs melt your heart. Thanks for letting us get “close up” to Jamie’s yes, softer side.

    The first picture in this series is my favorite. I think it shows her sweet and gentle side.
