Love this dear, sweet cousin of mine with my whole heart. She understands my offbeat, strange sense of humor and is basically the definition of jammin. Thankful for her. Enjoy these! Cheers, Hannah

Quite Thankful

I have been prodding my heart and pondering my thoughts more than usual. I suppose that’s what happens during a break…I suppose that’s a good thing. I’m learning to become more appreciative of the today. the right now. this very moment. I’m seeing the beauty and joy and fondness of it in each passing hour […]

ALLIE // Woodstock Senior Portraits

I’m fairly certain that in everyone’s book, Allie is one of the dearest, most loveliest of people. She’s soft spoken, kind, and an avid supporter of rice and Asian Power. I’m glad to have had the opportunity to take her senior photos. 🙂

Twenty Three : August
