i’ve been working on editing some wedding photos that I shot a few weeks back for a friend and co-worker.  he exchanged vows (very well written ones – i might add) with a most beautiful woman back in june.  i was the second photographer for their spectacular soirée – a most enviable place to be because it gives me a chance to look beyond the standard poses.  slow things down a bit.  and, capture the ‘little’ moments that make up the day. (my favorites of all time, BT-DUBS)

fast forward a few weeks.  work.  life.  dogs.  vacation.  family.  chores.  stuff happens.  and then  -everything gets real. someone – a beloved someone – passes away.  my heart hurts knowing that someone is working to mend heartfelt rips and tears that happen when a beloved soul leaves this world before ‘their time’ and moves on to whatever is next.  it is the single driving force behind why i do what i do (and for some very personal reasons).

goodness gracious my heart is hurting.  my most sincere, heartfelt sentiments of condolences go out to my friends during this most difficult time.
