This woman is exceptional.  She is smart, she is talented & she has the biggest heart.  I can honestly say that my life is better because of her.  I couldn’t be happier to see my beautiful friend engaged to such an amazing man who makes her so incredibly happy.

Life has a beautiful way of reconnecting people.  I’ve known this beautiful Mama since I was in elementary school.  We lost touch for several years, but reconnected recently & I’m so grateful we did.  Meet my friend Amanda, her husband Andy & their beautiful daughters.

I shoot film.  Not a lot.  Not as much as I should.  But I do want to start incorporating it into my workflow more regularly.  There’s something about the process of loading film, using your light meter, manually focusing, timing your shots, and hearing the sound of your film advancing that makes you feel like you’re doing so much more than taking a picture, you’re creating true art.

Jennifer is one of my dearest friends.  We’ve been involved in each others lives since elementary school & have remained close for over 25 years.  We’ve been through so much together … from playing dolls to crushing on boys to taking college classes together, to being her maid of honor, to celebrating the birth of her 4 beautiful children!  She told me she wanted to celebrate their 10th anniversary with a photo shoot & I couldn’t have been more excited to start planning this session!
