to my parents…for planting the seeds of faith. for the courage to dream. and most especially, for permission to fail.
to tripp…for enduring the tears and the sadness after kelsey went to college. for his support and encouragement. for lifting and carrying. and for not once complaining about the fact that we haven’t seen the top of the dining room table for a month.
to kelsey…for sorting and packaging and tying bows. for singing and for laughing. for being the light of my life. and for inspiring me to dream bigger, scarier dreams.
to my bff’s carrie and suzanne…for their advice. for high heels and jewelry. for loving and accepting me for exactly who i am but believing in what i can be.
to terri…whose floral photography make me sit up and say, ‘one day i hope to be able to take flower pictures like that.’
to my friends…for listening. for encouraging. for the advice. for believing in me. and for telling me i am good enough.
to all of you who read my blog…for love and support. for the sweetest and kindest comments that you’ve left me. for the encouragement. and for sticking around when i talk about my cat’s litter box.
i dedicate this to you.

Beautiful! {And I’m so excited about your FOL debut on Tuesday!}
Does this mean you’re going into business?? YAY FOR YOU!!! : ) : )
Awesomeness!
So I’m sitting and watching TV tonight and leafing through Facebook on my phone and I see a link to your blog and think to myself, “Oh, I haven’t read that one yet.” So I click on it and this post came up. I’m reading along and nodding my head and then I come to your mention of me and how I have inspired you with my flower photos. Well, tears welled up and I just had to get up off the couch and come to my computer to tell you how much that meant to me. Really, that not only made my day but my week. I think photography is all about inspiration, both being inspired by others and inspiring other people. I have watched you blossom into the amazing photographer you are and am so pleased to think I was an inspiration to you. And now we’ve met and REALLY know each other and you are about to embark on another adventure and join us at FOL. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, dear friend, for being you.
Lovely display! I would love to see all your beautiful photography in one place like this! I know I’d spend a lot of time there!
