But when Jandeen and Chris asked me I had a weak moment and said yes. ;) Jandeen and I met freshman year of college and those four years especially would not have been the same without her. I'm so thrilled she has found such love and happiness with Chris. Here is a quick sneak peek of their day...

I don't know why, but I love cows.

Note: I don't love them in a collect-cow-stuff-all-over-my-house kind of way. No cow collections. They just make me happy when I see them. :)

the assignment... choose a day (a pretty normal day) and take a photograph of something in front of you every 30 minute from the time you wake up until bed. i had to set my phone to remind me every 30 minutes. every 30 minutes comes fast! i was pretty good. there were some times it just wasn't possible (during class), but then i just shot a couple more on break. :)

it was so fun. and meaningful. i chose to do it on my iphone so my "big" camera wouldn't become a barrier to doing it. plus, it wasn't about big cameras and photoshop. that wasn't the point. the process made you stop and look around. notice things that you didn't notice before. to look up at the sky. be in the moment. find beauty and joy in those everyday moments. i might try to do this once a month. oh, and i could try to post it on the first of every month. ok, no promises. ;)

i encourage you to try it! let me know how it goes...

It's probably too early to be reminiscing about summer. Right? I should be out shoveling. But none of my neighbors have shoveled, so you know what that means... I'm not shoveling. ;) Ok, enough talk about weather. Let's talk about cute kids... :)

I knew I was neglecting this place, but I didn't realize it has been a month. I do have good excuses for not being around here much (more on that later). But right now I want to share a session from late summer. When I look at these images words like -- warmth, peace, love -- come to my mind and fill my heart. So happy I got to meet this lovely family this year.
