“Cause I believe there’s a way you can love me because I say”
I first met Anyssa at Elizabeth and Ryan’s wedding, I think we knew it would be friendship forever when I took out several small children with my dancing Macarena elbows, since then it’s been Beyonce hip shakes and laughter ever since.
We spent the blustery, blustery Sunday afternoon trampling across cold grounds with her and her very best friend Martina. They played Rummy in their coolest of cool clubhouse and giggled as I made them risk peril on train tracks and bridge ledges.
Here’s to best friends, inside jokes, growing old together…
Martina lives on THE coolest, most beautiful acreage ever…hello, future dream home!
I love Anyssa, but…
Martina kicked her ass in cards 
Favorite of the day. Of the week. Of the month.
Love.
Anyssa rocked the monkey bars.
The light here was RIDICULOUS!
“Marry me Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone, I love you, that’s all I really know”
It was the first blog post here. I had asked Carly and Cotie, friends from a past long ago folding shirts at Old Navy to model for me. I was new, shaky before the camera, fumbling around, fingers crossed I could get the hang of this photography thing, they’d been dating for forever, Carly and I spent the afternoon excitedly talking of a future a long ways ahead in where she and Cotie would need real engagement photos. But that would be years from now, we went along our merry way, me nervous, and them gorgeous and as in love as ever.
And then August 15th came, and Cotie made years turn into current time. He proposed, she said yes, and there was a hell of a lot of excited shreaking. On my part, of course. Carly has single-handedly been one of the biggest influences to get my business up and running and lord only knows without her pimping I’d probably have dusty lenses and a silent phone. There aren’t words to express how grateful I am to have her as not just another client, but a really great friend. I am SO excited for this wedding, it’s going to be a long time coming (November 2011) but I will sit patiently with my desktop calendar drooling over these photos in anticipation. Love you two, xoxo.
I love, love, love this picture!
Favorite.
Bling!!
“Life for you my prince has just begun, and I thank you for choosing me to come through unto life to be.”
She helped him on the ends of the Hockey Song, held his hand crossing the street, stretched her arms wide even after the fourth run across the grass. Mom things. Tiny things, big things, important things.
My Mom made me who I am by these things, I move furniture before I clean, hum the bars of harmonica in Five Days in May, laugh with abandon, swear often, say I love you in between each breath. Small things that happened in between moments that threaded between my pores, on a blustery Saturday of October I had the happiest afternoon snapping these moments of Sarah and Brighton’s lives.
I hope to know Brighton years from now, see who he becomes, see who Sarah helps him to become.
Hello Brighton, I love you.
I know this one is a bit blurry, but for some reason I just completely fell head over heels for it.
