I am so proud of my friends Jordan and Max.  Jordan is off to the Marshall Islands to teach with WorldTeach and Max is off to South Africa with the Peace Corps.  I have cherished these last few days with them so much – enjoying food with friends and family, laughing, singing, dancing… here’s to watching the mailbox, and to having two really good reasons to start printing and mailing out my photographs again.

I was happy to enjoy a traditional fourth of July weekend of eating, sleeping, and playing outdoors with my family.  Every time we observe this tradition I find myself asking why we don’t do things like this more often.  As far as family outings go, it’s hard to beat frisbee, fishing, burgers and boat rides…

I was really excited to capture Ashley and Robert’s wedding last weekend out at Thunderbird Chapel.  The location is incredible, and the wedding coordinators did a really great job getting everything and everyone where they needed to be to make things run smoothly.  A beautiful bride, a nervous groom, and a room full of supportive friends and family, many of whom were moved to tears by the ceremony.  So much happiness in one day!  Congratulations, Ashley and Robert…
