hey mom!!

happy mother's day!  

you're pretty cool mom - in the true hipster style i'm pretty sure you're the first mother to dress her daughter like one...

(also, where is this photo?! the junk yard?)

you'll get your SMALL gift soon.  sorry for being a loser daughter and not sending it yet - but a little birdy told me that YOU forgot mother's day (just sayin').

love you like cray, cray!

kthanxbye!

hi ma!

  have a good mother's day!

don't have any cute photos like {this} or {this}

but i do have {this} awful song that you made listen to over and over: dedicated to you.  now every time i hear it i still roll my eyes but can still sing every word and still smile when he says 'i was bald'....

enjoy your day even though i'm a world away; i'll be home soon!

love ya!

one good evening, columbia, mo

one reason i have a love for photography is the feeling it evokes when i see the images.  photos don’t have the caliber of a familiar smell, but sometimes a photograph the next best when it comes to remembering the moment.  the moment becomes a domino effect of thoughts and builds on to other memories.  the series above is of a good friend and me.  this moment was just a normal moment between us, but for some reason when I look at these photos joy pours out of me.  all the memories between us start to become clear and although some might be good and some bad, it is a true friendship.   this person is adam and i credit him for meeting my husband as he credits my husband for meeting his wife.  

(and if you can make sense of that, i believe we are speaking of this fact that very moment)
