My Madre

My mom is my best friend. She is strong, courageous and such an inspiration to me. I am truly blessed by her encouragement and love. I took these pics of her at lunch on a visit to California. She lived in Los Angeles for 8 months to work as a travel nurse in Cedar Sinai's Surgery Center. Never living outside the midwest before this was a huge risk and incredible experience for her. She jumped right into the opportunity with a mind wide open and no fear. If she can move across the country to take a chance with the unfamiliar and learn new things way out of her comfort zone, then so can I.

Thanks Mama Bear for showing me that I really can do anything. I love you more than you know!

Bloomington Good Friday

This Good Friday I had the privilege of spending the whole day with my friend and fellow photographer Scott Clark. Scott is one of those rare gems that can talk to anyone and make them feel like family in the first 30 seconds of meeting them. This is one of the many reasons he's a kick ass photographer and even better friend. I can always count on meeting new friends and dreaming up grand ideas with Scott around.

Check out his shots from friday's adventure on his blog.

Thanks Scott for reminding me of forgotten passions and encouraging me to inspire others.

pogo in the snow

After sledding with this kid in 5 inches of Nashville snow (that is unheard of down here!) he decided it would be awesome to try out his pogo stick in the stuff. I love him and his curly hair!
