Pea Fields and Pink Umbrellas
There is nothing more beautiful than finding your course as you believe you bob aimlessly in the current. Wouldn’t you know that your path was there all along, waiting for you to knock, waiting for you to become. This path does not belong to your parents, your teachers, your leaders, or your lovers. Your path is your character defining itself more and more everyday like a photograph coming into focus.

I had the honor to be asked to take Nadia's grad photos in June. Thankfully, Alli had the brilliant foresight to bring a spunky pink umbrella - so there we where - twirling in the rain, in a pea field with a pink umbrella.
My great friend Monica and her husband Joe lent us their 1958 Belair for the night, which was fantastic! Joe restored the car himself, and she is splendid - thank you guys!
But mostly thank you to Linda and Nadia for trusting me enough to meander around fields, sit on dirt roads and dance amoung trees.
Nadia - good luck in everything that you do, I am sure that you are on a path rife with adventure and remarkable moments.
