"i have decided to stick with love.  hate is too great a burden to bear."

a room without books is like a body without a soul.

snow days. for days.

"after all this time?" "always. said snape."

to make it what it was to be.

did you learn that at vegan academy?
sorry, watching scott pilgrim while editing.  love this movie.

so, i had the most unsuccessful shoot saturday morning.  we did an 8 am shoot but the parents forgot to take into consideration that their child is NOT into mornings.  he cried/fussed 90% of the shoot, the little guy was just tired.  i felt SO defeated driving home.  like a complete failure as a photographer.  thankfully once i finally let myself look through the photos we did get a couple of good ones.    i am working on the rest tonight.

after the shoot it was back-to-school shopping for my absolute most favorite little boy on this earth, dillybear.  it kills me that he is starting kindergarten next month.  i nerded out in the back-to-school section of the store.  school shopping has ALWAYS been an exciting time for me.  don't judge.

harry potter.  excited.  sad.  giddy.

alrighty, back to work.

"your kindness knows no bounds.  your smile warms me.  your love is palpable.  your tears break my heart.  your laughter is contagious.  your beauty is beyond skin deep."
