I've written. Deleted. Re-written. Deleted. And here we are.

The following photos, taken at the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge, capture the essence of the very being of Ashley Garza Herrin.

The woman who exhibits grace under pressure, has a mean locker room dance, laughs from the pit of her belly and sets the standard as a wife and mother.

She's never too proud to ask for help, lend an ear to a friend or simply be present.

I'm honored to capture Ashley ... and her twins, Harper and Grayson. Humbled and honored.
