sometimes you need to photograph, just to photograph. while emily was visiting this weekend, we found this great dress at mintage. leanne spent a half hour [literally–soooo cold!] chilling in a forest near my house. we took a few photos and i giggled. i love love love what we captured. leanne is pretty. [i’ve photographed leanne before. here & here & here.]

march 1, 2012. four months after november 1, 2011, the day i flew to quebec for three weeks. i love making note of specific dates. it’s not something i do consciously… “i must not forget when ____ happened on _____” — but those details stay with me. i like looking back & comparing to the present & thinking about the future. keeping exact dates in my mind mark that progress. i remember the jitters i felt flying out that day & i remember the excitement of landing at sunset.
