thanks to all my friends and family who used the photos i took in/as their holiday cards. it truly meant so much to me because i know how much thought goes into this decision. please keep me in mind for your birth announcements, engagement photos, holiday cards and more! 

do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. know when to let go and when to hold on tight. stop rushing. don't be intimidated to say it like it is. stop apologizing all the time. learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. stop giving your power away. be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. finally know who you are.

beauty is a radiance that originates from within and comes from inner security and strong character.

it was so nice to spend a december afternoon with aiden and his identical twin sisters carys and islah at a playground in del mar. i work with their mommy jolene in the NICU and we also both attended johns hopkins school of nursing. jolene is so patient, kind, sweet, playful and encouraging to them and they absolutely adore her, as you can tell from the pictures!
