Slow Going

Life has been absolutely crazy lately getting everything ready for the big move, but I finally had some time to photograph some of the projects I've been working on, and have since generated about a million more ideas. Its going to be a busy year!

Indispensable

Flow


































Water flows from high mountain sources.
Water runs deep in the Earth.
Miraculously, water comes to us.
I am filled with gratitude.

Speeding Up

Inspired by Neil Pasricha's 1000 Awesome Things, I have started my own collection of awesome things and will be publishing them in a separate blog. Every day I will come up with one amazing, magical thing that happened and sometimes I'll even turn it into a little work of graphic art. These little things are really what keep me going and make life seem a little bit wonderful.

Hey, Soul Sister















This breathtaking girl is one of the most caring and understanding human beings alive. I love this image of Alexa and how focused she looks, listening to me telling a story while snapping some photos. She is a true friend and I am so lucky to have her in my life.

Networking

To further my social networking project, I've been working on an online portfolio website. It's more challenging than I expected, and a lot of work! It's been a struggle trying to find a harmonious balance between aesthetics and usability, but I've come up with a layout that is fine for a first draft. Here is the link:
In the future I will be continuing to develop the site, and hopefully will expand to cover other areas as well as photography.

Anticipation
















A friend of mine asked for some help with a simple design for an invitiation to her sister's baby shower, and this is what we came up with!
