seeing stars | texas

Last week I spent some time in Texas visiting my brother and sister in law. It was wonderful to see them, enjoy a little sunshine (it is almost April and somehow it is still snowing in Seattle!) and an abundance of Texas cuisine. It was my first trip to the lone star state and it is a beautiful part of the country, that is for certain. I am a big fan of stars, so seeing the Texas Star everywhere was really fun. I took some pictures in the downtown Waco area that I felt were worth sharing.

A few of them are of Waco’s Historic Suspension Bridge that was the longest single-span suspension bridge west of the Mississippi when it was completed in 1870. The bridge was built with cable supplied by the John Roebling Co., who built the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. Crucial to traders and travelers for well over a century, the bridge stands as an icon of Waco history and is the centerpiece of many community festivals and events. It also contains nearly 3 million bricks.

In March, I had the opportunity to do a shoot with Michael & Amy in London, England. They are not only amazing individuals but when together you can sense the love they share in the air that surrounds them. We had a wonderful afternoon (although I will admit it was awfully cold that day) capturing the true essence of who they are. I am blessed by their friendship and wanted to share a few of the images we captured below.

hello world

During my recent travels through Europe, I not only experienced real life in the making but discovered once again this intense passion I have for capturing it. I have enjoyed taking pictures for some time now, but to really become a part of what you do, that is something I’ve been waiting for. A feeling of being complete, fully in the moment you are immersed in. I learn new things on a daily basis, believing that everyday is a gift I am unwrapping. To have something that pulls at your heartstrings, that is truly living. Welcome to a piece of my world as we explore life together, one miracle at a time.
