i love you not for what you are 
but for who i am when i am with you


i can't think of anything i enjoy more than getting mail! actually, ok....maybe one thing....getting mail that includes photos that i have taken : ) congrats to my beautiful friends michael kridler and laura pakula on their engagement and upcoming wedding. you know when you have two friends who are going to get married and you just have that feeling that they'll be happy and in love forever? well that's these two. i've written about them before and you really really should check out their engagement shoot by clicking here, but truly, i couldn't ask for better friends who i actually consider family. they used my photography for their save the date. I.AM.SO.FLATTERED. we had so much fun in solitude, utah back in march running through the snowstorm to get these fun shots! laura is so naturally beautiful and michael's smile couldn't be more telling as to his happiness : ) this is one of those days that i wish we could relive because it was filled with laughter, friends, love, children, family and memories. that week i was also able to introduce my kridler family to my new love and it was so amazing. that little slice of heaven in utah will always have my heart and i think i can speak for laura and mike, it holds theirs as well : )
