Beautiful Friend, Beautiful Light

Oh wow, I didn’t realize I hadn’t posted a blog since MAY.  Whooops!  Well, it has been quite a 3rd trimester of pregnancy and I’ve had a lot going on.  But still…I do prefer consistency over long periods of absence.  My apologies about that!

So rather than delay things any further, I figure short and sweet is the way to go!  Especially seeing as how my life is going to get a bit busier in the next couple months!

That being said, today I’m posting a couple photos from our friends’ Liz + Michael’s visit to California not too long ago.  Liz and I met in Russia when I was 16 and she wound up marrying Will’s lifelong best friend Michael.  Will and I first crossed paths at Michael + Liz’s wedding, but officially met two years later at Liz’s brother’s wedding…where I was shooting the photos and Will was playing the bagpipes.  Needless to say, it’s been great to share our friendship as couples, and we were way overdue for a chance to hang out and share each others’ company.  Will and I were so blessed to have Liz + Michael come visit us in our California home, and of course I couldn’t help but shoot a few frames featuring some of my favourite people.

Hope you enjoy this shot of Liz…a beautiful friend ensconced in beautiful light.  Which is so fitting because she truly emanates the most golden light a person can…even when she’s in a dark place, there is still a light and beauty to Liz that just never fades.  Love that girl!

Who brings light into your life?

Happy Tuesday!

PS We just signed up for Amazon Mom and Amazon Subscribe + Save….it was actually Michael’s suggestion.  Yesterday the biggest box of discounted (but still quality) toilet paper and other household essentials arrived courtesy of UPS, and now we’re stocked up on about 2 month’s worth of Charmin for a pretty sweet deal.  Something that will save me time, money, gas, and roaming the grocery store aisles with a newborn…I am totally sold!
