Justine and Rosario are celebrating their one-year wedding anniversary . . . oh, and their cute little pup, Chump, decided to join in on the fun. (Aren't they just the sweetest family you ever did see?) It truly was my pleasure to capture these sweet memories, this past weekend. Here are the highlights!
| | The Art of Rest | |
I have always been a hard worker. Ever since I can remember, I've composed lists upon lists, detailing urgent tasks and important projects. I've never known when to quit, it seems. "You can't stop until the job is done," I often tell myself. Let me insert a quick sidebar …
| | Personal Musings | |
I stand convinced that nothing exists so beautifully as one single blossom amidst hills of snow. For rooted within us all is a passion, a passion for beauty, warmth, and love: A hopeful passion, youthful and trusting. Yet apart from the somber hum of winter’s lament, the sweetness of spring's melody would drown in seas …
| | Appreciation–A Reminder | |
A true disgrace it is to know That only through man's pain and woe Does he esteem the sun aglow And cherish the glimmer of light. For that which gleans by day often grows dark by night.

I struggle with anxiety. There, I said it. --------------------------------------------- Ever since I can remember, anxiety has been my "kryptonite." In fact, even as a child, I remember my mom jokingly warning, "Dee, stop worrying so much. You'll have an ulcer by the time your twenty." I shrugged it off, but …

I do believe that "Happy Thanksgivings" are in order. So, from the bottom of my heart, I wish you all a warm, gratitude-filled 'Happy Thanksgiving.' May your day abound with good food, good company, and good memories. (Oh, and don't forget to pack your stretchy pants . . . you know . . . just in …

Karaline is kind, compassionate, caring, and a true giver. She is someone who you can always count on to encourage, love, and help others. And, thankfully, she's also one of my closest friends. Here are a few of her senior shots!
