We headed out to Mt. Tabor and did ourselves some hiking (as much hiking as can happen in an extremely urban area). I have known Heather for a few years and I always enjoy learning about life, motherhood, and hairstyles from her. Natalie wants to be an actress, so I might have been one of the first photographers to get her picture. I am sure I will be hearing from the gossip mags in a couple of years ;-). Tatiana doesn't really know what she wants to grow up to be, but I can't see her shaking her BIG and FUN personality anytime soon.
I had an awesome time and it was nice to work on a personal project in the midst of WEDDING SEASON. Here are some of my favorites from the day...enjoy!

Today is Shawn's birthday!! Since his last birthday I have seen Shawn become a husband, serious photographer, and a beautiful man. I am nothing short of amazed when I think back on when we first started dating, I was 15 and he was 17. I have seen his evolution from funny weird boy to a loving and compassionate man that always strives to be better than he was yesterday (although the funny weirdness seems not to have left him and I wouldn't have it any other way). I am completely in love with this man and as proud of him as I could ever hope to be. Happy birthday Shawnathon!
