Part one of two.
In May, I joined Jonathan & his closest friends on an all-day excursion throughout LA. First we stopped in Van Nuys for Dr. Hogly Wogly's Tyler Texas BBQ, and then headed up to Santa Clarita for paintball.
I wasn't sure what to expect out of the day in any way, shape or form. I definitely didn't think that riding along with these boys would lead to some of my favorite photos I've ever taken.
Below, Jonathan & his Merry Men. Adventure Awaits.
This past weekend, my best friend married the love of his life. I didn't take many pictures, but I did capture some tiny moments that will help me remember the weekend as I saw it.
just a few hours before the ceremony, my brother & I, half-eaten pizza in hand, ran into Dan in the elevator. he was hungry, and he was wearing his tux. my brother fashioned him a bath-towel-gown, and Dan wolfed down the pizza in our room. those few minutes, just Dan, my mom, my brother & me, stand out as my favorite part of the weekend.
my new & beautiful friend Amanda was just tapped to run development for Life Rolls On, an organization that aims to "inspire others to see the boundless possibilities beyond paralysis."
as someone who knows the profound healing benefits of spending time out in the ocean, i feel indebted to organizations that focus on making the magic of surfing available to those who may not take it upon themselves to find a way out there. (Surfers Healing is another organization close to my heart). so when Amanda asked me if I'd like to stop by and take photographs, i jumped at the chance.
the short surf sessions create a ripple effect of love, gratitude and excitement - for the athletes, their families on the beach, and the volunteers.
