Oh, you.

In the span of seven days, we will have photographed three weddings. We will have driven from San Diego, to Santa Barbara, to Newport Beach…and when I say ‘we' I really mean you. Because you know I hate driving and prefer to catch up on email as we commute. I sing along to songs you hate, then beg you to join in on the chorus. I hold an invisible microphone to your mouth and keep it there until you blurt out, Don't stop beeeeelieving, hold on to that feeeeeeeling!

I suppose being together for 17 years allows me the privilege of making you sing.

I guess I'm writing this note simply to say thanks. Because I don't know if I say it enough. I don't thank you for packing our gear bag before weddings, for organizing snacks for the long drives, for pushing me to shoot better when I think I can't. For everything you make me become, thank you.

JD, I appreciate you accompanying me on this wild ride. Our business is only successful because of you. I guess I wanted to make sure people knew that, too.
xoxo
