Each June 12, the anniversary of the ruling, Loving Day events around the country mark the advances of mixed-race couples.

I saw this and it made me reflect on all the interracial couples, families, and love that I have been so grateful to capture.

So much has taken place in the last few months, that it has been emotionally overwhelming. In addition, not having the free range to turn to the things that can help distress, take my mind off things, focus on the good/the beautiful/the pure/and just mother earth, made it even more challenging.

So, Lovingly, I’d like to share just a few photos that made me smile and warm my heart.
