preemptive love
two of my favorite people to talk about are my dear friends cody and michelle.
they currently live in iraq and run an incredible organization, preemptive love coalition.
(seriously, go check it out because it’s the coolest.)
nothing but kindness, wisdom and genuine interest has come from them, as they have been huge encouragers of my business from the beginning. in fact, it was michelle who–over alisal milkshakes on a sunday afternoon–spelled out just how i should legally and logistically turn my passion and dreams into a business. it was their belief in me that jumpstarted so much of what i do and love today.
4 years ago, they were the first people that paid me for my photos.
i miss them and our summer themed dinners terribly, but i’m so excited for the work they are doing in iraq and for the opportunity to contribute in tiny ways from afar. here are a few images of their new tshirts and a few of my fantastic friends i coerced into modeling:

christensen family
i adore these siblings and any chance i get to have them in front of my camera (i took mary’s senior pictures last week!). katherine is one of my dearest friends and it was really fun to photograph her and her siblings at christmastime before she is off to study in oxford for a semester! (yipppeee!) for me, this past week has consisted of netflix, friends, christmas parties, cookies, painting, books and catching up on sleep. i have a maternity session, an engagement session and one more wedding left in 2013 + then i will be ringing in the new year in san francisco with a bunch of my craziest, favorite friends! i have an absurdly long year recap that i’ve been working on for DAYS (unheard of in my life–it is so unusual for me to edit my writing) that i cannot wait to share. after that, the next time you hear from me will be 2014!much love to you all, happy happy happy christmas!! xo
