it all started in harlem..

...with dating, falling, marrying, baby making and now parenting. one of my first memories with nikki was sitting in the "full moon" talking about life one 4th of july weekend (the same weekend matt and heath started canoodling). I knew she was smart, ambitious, genuine and somebody you could trust. cameron was the one who made witty films, had witty side remarks and was the man we compared all other men too, knowing he was the perfect example of a "good guy" (seriously one if the nicest people I have ever known). this is one couple I loved before they were a couple but after moving from NY I find myself feeling closer and closer to them as they include me in their life. I loved being there on their wedding day. I loved being there to hold and kiss their first born. I feel blessed to have them as friends.

I am excited for many more moments with your family. missing little john already.

camp is over. I came home and took a nap for 3 hrs and then proceeded to sleep from 9pm that night till 9am the next morning. I think I was tired.

yesterday I was happy to be home but still in a girls camp haze...missing their hugs and conversation. missing the spirit they had. missing all the great leaders I worked with. we did it! and now I think I will rest for the next few months.

I have a one track mind which involves catching up with posting past events. once I am caught up, more girls camp...

in the future

I will post more of...

the kelly family

madeline & mom

nellie & kent

grandma at the cabin

lisa & dave

I am off to girls camp till saturday. I feel like a horrible bad person for neglecting my blog and so many deserving people from seeing their photos. Believe me when I say it will be a welcome change to catch up on work when I am back saturday. Who knew I could miss photoshop?

until then...

don't mind if I do.

today

today I fly to utah to see my sister (see photo) for the 1st time in a long time. this week I have some photo shoots, family time and another flight to colorado. next week I have more family time, a flight to LA and girls camp. I have SO much I want to post, photos of babies, NY, seattle, weddings etc.......where do people find the time? I can barely unpack my suitcase before I have to pack it again.

fingers crossed I make it through august.

sorry I haven't been posting. I'm in a mad dash to finish up plans for girls camp. it's A LOT of work. just ordered dog tags for all the girls with this years scripture etc...kind of a boot camp theme. I hope they like them....we also ordered sweat headbands and wristbands for them to decorate. we're going to get their spirits into shape!

that reminds me...does anyone remember the "get in shape girl" stuff from the 80's? it was a workout tape complete with pink sweatbands. I was all about it. sometimes I really miss the 80's.

my still life

saw some light in my house the other day...

little john henry

returned home from my week in new york. photographed this little hunk as well as a few other delectable items. oh how I love that city and all the people in it.

more of everything soon.

don't wait

this changed me.
