pure joy.

My friend Lucy just recently turned me on to “Dancing Matt.” I can not even tell you how happy this video makes me. It gives me goose bumps and makes my eyes water. Like, “I want to keep this on my desktop so when I am having a bad day I can just sit and watch him dance,” happy. Not to mention I can be caught doing this same dance almost daily (Just ask the kids). :)

14 months in the making, 42 countries, and a cast of thousands.

renee’s mee-mee {a tribute}

One on my oldest and dearest friends Renee asked me last March to do something special for her. Her 97 year old grandmother was not doing very well, and she wanted a unique way to remember her when her time came to leave this world. She asked me if I would go to her nursing home and do a photo session of her, (she calls her Grandma “Mee Mee”) and then she wanted to make two photos books. Her plan was to give the photo books to her Mother and her Aunt when her Grandmother passed.

Very recently my dear friend lost her Grandmother. I asked her permission to share some of the photos that we captured of Mee Mee last March to share with others. She gave her books to her Mother and Aunt after the funeral, and they were very touched by Renee’s thoughtful idea.

Here is Renee’s beautiful Mee Mee.
