thought juice :: even the quiet ones

Last December I photographed the group shots for a wedding at the Salt Lake Temple. Amidst all the images of the guests grouped together, I found a random photograph I had chosen to take of a woman sitting alone and watching the other guests assemble for another photo. I almost didn't include it in the final order because it felt out of place, but I did it anyway.

It's not an extraordinary picture and I didn't think anymore about it until today. I received a message that the woman in the photo, a friend of the bride's, passed away 2 weeks ago. And because that image was included, Lauren was able to share it with the woman's family.

Can I just say that made my day? I won't second-guess the thought to include an image again; even the quiet ones.
