He Is Risen!

“For even if the whole world believed in resurrection, little would change until we began to practice it. We can believe in CPR, but people will remain dead until someone breathes new life into them. And we can tell the world that there is life after death, but the world really seems to be wondering if there is life before death.” -Shane Claiborne

Church, picnic, nap, tandem biking, and then eating pizza with friends. Our Easter was wonderful.

Birthday Weekend

Last week, I turned 24--just a year shy of a quarter of a century. Something you may or may not know about me is that I love when I'm an even number. I don't really know why. Perhaps it's because I was born 4/2/88 or because it just feels so right. This next year is going to be awesome--i can feel it.

Anyways, what did I want to do for my birthday? Spend some time with my nephew, go for multiple hikes, snaps some photos, and enjoy a meal with my man. Perfect birthday weekend. 

Michelle

Being a portrait photographer, you naturally hang out with lots of people, but usually those people aren't other photographers. It's just us in our business. Sometimes that's hard because it would be convenient to walk over to the next cubicle and ask advice about how to handle a certain situation or collaborate on a project. This is why it's so important to meet other photographers--to have a bit of a support system. 

I met Michelle in our business class this semester. We chatted about our new businesses, how to do taxes, whats the best way to attract clients that want your style, how we became passionate about photography, etc. Leaving class, I called Bryan and like a giddy kindergartener told him I made a new friend! And not only do we share the same love of photography, but she's also a babe to photograph =)

You can check out Michelle's work here! She just put up an adorable engagement session out at the airfield =)
