capturing the everyday
/It is not what I see outside that makes my images, it is what I feel on the inside that comes out. Thank you to the Smith's for allowing me into your home to "capture your everyday."

Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around. ~Love Actually 2003
sibling love
/To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. ~Clara Ortega
colour my world
/Possibly one of the most colorful streets in the country...

/Thought I'd send a long distance post from out here in Las Vegas. Happy Fourth of July to everyone back home. From every mountain side, let freedom ring. Happy Fourth of July!
congratulations emma
/A little dedication to my beautiful daughter Emma, that will graduate from high school tomorrow. Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you.
runmeter

Ooh, my new favorite app! If you're a runner and have an iphone, it's a must have. If you're a runner and don't have an iphone, you need one, and if you have an iphone and aren't a runner, you'll want to run after taking a peek at this. So, so fun! As soon as you hit the start button your run gets sent to Facebook (optional). To my surprise, as I ran my morning run, my playlist was interrupted by a message sent from a friend that commented on my automatic FB runmeter status and was relayed to me through my head phones while running. No kidding! Oh, but there's so much more to this app than just that, so put on those sneakers and take it for a spin. (There's a app for walking too). I did need to go out and purchase the Apple remote ear buds to start and stop the timer with ease.
a garden-style graduation
/Well, it's finally my time to watch a daughter graduate from high school and I'm not quite sure where the time has gone. This past weekend we celebrated Emma's graduation in garden-style and were surrounded by wonderful family and friends on such a lovely day. A huge thank you to all that helped celebrate this sweet occasion. Oh, and by the way, since we get so many requests as to how to make the dress below, here's a video tutorial on how we put together. (When I put this video together I accidentally put the ribbon through the photo print backwards. You’ll need to put the ribbon through the hole on the photo side when stringing them on, otherwise I think this video should do the trick). We’d love to see your finished product! Good luck!
