The "other" side of the camera!

I used my birthday as an excuse to experiment being on the "other" side of the camera!  As a photographer it's easy to forget how uncomfortable it can be to be photographed, but with a good and encouraging friend behind the camera, it can be fun!  (and ladies, let me tell you the #1 beauty secret to great photos....fake eyelashes!! ;) Thanks Holly for wielding my camera with such skill and providing great direction!  

A Wonderful Birthday!

I had such a wonderful birthday celebrating with so many wonderful people that have blessed my life- both near and far!  Thanks to everyone for such birthday love, and especially to my roomie Holly for decorating our apartment with sweet quotes of friendship and appreciation.  Lots of warm and fuzzies!  And our tradition of the "birthday shrine" continues- where all the love can be displayed!  :)
