my favorite moments : 2011

January 6

I love pretty pictures. And I always strive to create something beautiful in my work.

But sometimes. A moment can really overwhelm me.

More than anything else I’ve learned this year, I am figuring out that what I want more than a pretty picture, is an honest moment.

A moment that makes tears well up in my eyes it is so good.

I want that. And that’s what pushes me into 2012. That’s what I am marveling at, looking back at 2011.

These moments make my heart swell with gratitude when I look at them, because I am better person because you let me experience these moments with you. I am better because of you.

Let the beauty you love be what you do.
