This is a hard story to tell and I already know I can't tell all of it. Still, I share so many intimate moments from other people's lives I feel like I need to be open with a certain part of mine.
This summer I sat with my cousin Laura as she died of cancer. She was a beautiful 31 year old woman with so much of her life in front of her--it honestly broke my heart in ways that continue to suprise and humble me. And there are other things I don't want to get into that made this situation even more unfair… times I wanted to shake my fist at the sky and give up.

Friday we came together to remember her. Everyone left with a small stone with the words "present moment"--a reminder of Laura's tattoo on her wrist and her commitment to mindfulness and helping others.

Yesterday, when I went on my first walk in weeks along my usual route, I discovered that my son and my sister-in-law had left some of these rocks along the path for me (and a few other lucky people) to find. This morning a couple of them were gone; picked up by people I might never meet with their own struggles...maybe now comforting them from a kitchen window or a coat pocket.
Some of this story doesn't have clean endings--I still don't understand why Laura had to die. I'm still really sad. But what continues to be true is the amazing gift of how we hold each other up in these times of loss. How a simple act of kindness can change everything.

For years and years I’ve driven him to school, talked to his teachers, made his lunch. And now he’s riding his bike down the driveway and heading off to high school…my calls of “I love you!” “Smile at the other kids!” “You’re awesome!” no match for that exhilarating feeling of the wind on his face.

I finally made it to Central Park.

A great town to take a wrong turn. ❤️❤️❤️

Isn't it amazing that we can find such comfort in each other? …As we get older? …When we're not everything our more idealistic selves once thought we would be? The more time that goes by the more profound this seems and is part of why I love photographing second weddings so much--especially last Saturday's.
In her toast, Delia's Maid of Honor referred to Chris as an "Urban Legend": "This is proof there are good men still out there!" she exclaimed, and of course everyone laughed. But there was also something incredibly true and comforting and real in the way she said it. Don't give up. ❤️ Excited to share more from this beautiful wedding at one of my new favorite venues, Thomas Forgarty Winery, throughout this week.
Thanks to everyone who made it such an incredibly beautiful day! @daylikenoother @thomasfogartywinery , @weddingsonfilm, @conhairconnie, @jffloraldesign, @toastbayarea, @tabletoprentals, @hensleyeventresources, @bigfundj, @ericamesser

Happy Fourth! Wishing you a beautiful, restful day and (if we're lucky) a quiet moment of reflection.

Cheers to Sundays.

I want all the beautiful, romantic pictures but I also love the ones that remind us of who we were before.
