Melanie's Birthday

We threw my dear friend Melanie a surprise party last week.
I just wanted to let Mel know that I love her and think the world of her.

Brynne and Tanner

 I love when I meet couples like Brynne and Tanner, especially because they were willing to trespass to get into this great location. lots of laughs.

I like them so much

BLIZZARD

I hope it is as bad as they are saying it is.
How I enjoy my storms.

The New Niece

This is Evelyn, my newest niece and possibly the happiest baby I have ever met.
We share the same middle name (Lorraine), I believe we have a special connection.

IF I COULD I WOULD

SO I WILL FIND A WAY I CAN.

I wish I had something clever to go along with this image but I don't.
I just love it
Maybe because it reminds me of youth and the magic that come with being totally enamored 
with something as simple as a pair of sparkly shoes.

Excuse my absence...

I have been busy falling in love with these people

And welcoming a new sister into my family

She recently made her mothers old skirt into something stunning and new,  I photographed her in the dress for a contest she will be entering.
Check out her DIY blog, I LOVE what she does.

I am going to miss the summer

A bit ago some friends and I had a tea party.

After a few minutes of sitting and being pretty the sprinklers came on and there was no way of turning them off... Tea Party Fail.  Nonetheless lemonade was made from lemons when Claire decided to run in the sprinklers like a child and everything was okay.

I am going to miss the Summer.  Don't get me wrong, I love watching the seasons change but I will miss the long days, walking outside at night with no shoes, pretending there is no school in the mornings (even though I no longer am a student, popsicles and ice-cream, sunburns, brown flesh, tank tops, the list goes on for quite a while. 

Dear Universe

Thank you for helping me out all week, you knew exactly what I needed and I can't thank you enough.

Love,

Jessica

I would like to explore more.
I hope the Universe will provide ways cause I am having a hard time finding time to.

Mike and Emily!

This was such a great wedding to be a part of.  

Once again, I lucked out on photographing such a beautiful happy couple.
