To My House. 

I have one last night with you, just me and you. I am full of so many emotions but the overwhelming one is gratefulness. When I bought you, you were a neglected and abused foreclosure. Animals had defecated on you, anything that could be ripped out was taken and I am pretty sure the previous owners even tried setting you on fire. 

Shortly after I bought you, we brought home two kittens. Two kittens that were brothers, they were plucked from the streets and needed to stay together. They ran through your hallways, climbed everything they could and made both my both my boys squeal with glee. 

You watched as Jayden went from a boy to a man. You survived the teenage years and thrown balls, dented fridges and so many game nights. You were the perfect house for him and I know you were a place of safety among the storms for him. 

Soon you welcomed a new person, someone who loved your wrap around porch the first time she saw it. Elizabeth. Elizabeth could see what you really could be and was so excited to help you become the best version of yourself. She does that with a lot of people. 

You saw me at my lowest of lows. It was in those lows though, where we bonded. Sure I had given you a fresh coat of paint and some carpet but I really had not rolled up my sleeves and really put in the work to change who you were. As I took the time to rebuild you, I was doing the same with my heart and my life. I remember pulling trim through tears.

I even took some of the light fixtures from my studio that survived the fire and brought them home. They will stay with you, you deserve a piece of my life as well.

You saw us bring home our little Bear. That little room on the Southwest corner was such a favorite of his. Bear LOVED his bedroom. It was his and his alone and he always felt safe if there.    

Thank you House. Thank you for being the perfect house for each one of us. Tomorrow Elizabeth, Jayden, Bear and I will all start some sort of new adventure but it will be without you. We will cherish every memory you gave us House. 

Thank you.

Two years with this girl. We were talking and it does not feel like two years first but then we stop and think just what those two years have entailed and it seems like so much more.

Thank you for the adventure days and thank you for turning boring days into an adventure in your own special way!

Nina the week before her wedding - I don`t need a bunch of getting ready photos, just photograph us shutting The Standard down.

Me the week before her wedding - Ohhhhkkkaaaaayyyyy

Me at 11pm watching Nina hold her drink and her dress because she has ripped every bustle, while her and Matt are surrounded by every friend that matters in their lives - After 15 years of weddings, these moments are I will always cherish as a photographer.

I don`t care if your wedding is elegant, demure, emotional, a party, in a barn, in the city, huge, intimate, whiskey fueled or in a church basement.

Just be in love and be ready to love your day.

Bears Face -

This is the face you make when you serve a photographer some extra bread because he has carbohydrate cravings and that simple choice butterfly effects into you being an emergency contact for our little Bear.

Happy Birthday to @tadolphson, one of my clostest friends and an Aunt to our sometimes feral little Bear.

Thank you for serving me bread 7 years ago and being the person next to me during some of the craziest moments of my life!

Today was a day that was spent pondering just how much our lives are intertwined. When looking back at how friendships are formed and how relationship are bonded, it really does humble me that the slightest change at one key moment in time would change everything I have today.

Tonight I am thankful for these two and our their lives have intertwined with me. This "photography job" has blessed me in ways I can not explain.

Today you turned 33 and you celebrated in the most amazing fashion, you chose to work and spend your birthday celebrating serving a couple as their photographer. I have cherished every minute I have spent by your side. However, whenever we have had the opportunity to travel together, those moments have been extra special. 3 continents, 8 countries and I don`t even know how many states.. I have loved every place, every laugh and yes every time we have been stuck in a place we were not supposed to be. I wouldn`t trade any of those moments with you. Happy Birthday Adele!
