About me: I am obsessed with checking my email every 10 minutes. I enjoy rainy days where my driveway smells like concrete and grass. I enjoy drinking, but do not enjoy hangovers, and therefore the former happens less often than it would otherwise. When I drink, I become a social butterfly. I am madly in love with my boyfriend, and he is madly in love with me. I want to trek every inch of this earth and am mildly obsessed with checking off places on my list. I have yodeled off a peak in Switzerland, sipped coffee in a Parisian café, ziplined through the trees of Mexico, danced on the sidewalk on Broadway, seen the president’s dog pee on the White House lawn, and walked across the Golden Gate Bridge. Cruises are fun because they have frozen yogurt 24 hours a day. I like cinnamon gum because it makes my tongue feel funny. If someone dies or commits a crime and they are under the age of 30, I look them up on myspace. I like watching lifetime movies and reality TV shows because they are simplistic and do not require thinking… I do enough of that throughout the rest of the day. I believe in God without a doubt but am on the fence about religion. I hate eye drops and dentists. I can’t chew gum in a bathroom. My cats are cooler than yours. I can’t own goldfish because I forget to feed them. I hope I do better with my future children. I care about strangers more than I want to. My mom is a cancer survivor. I like to pretend I’m good at photography. I will try anything once. My decade long obsession with stars has led me to own three of them on my right foot. I do not care for Styrofoam, mouth breathers, awkward silences, or noisy eaters, in no particular order. I no longer have an appendix, and I’m mad I didn’t get to see it in a jar. Friends was the best TV show ever made, and no movie will ever top Garden State.

thank you. its been so long since i heard from you. i would totally be down with doing maternity photos, as long as i can have clothes on. lol it seems like everyone wants to take maternity pics of me nude. even my own grandma! (shes also a photographer). would you be okay with doing some of me and my fiance?
omg your comments were so funny. you wouldnt believe how many pictures of you ive collected over the past 15 or so years! and the facepainting was on my birthday at campland on the bay and we all had rollerblades lol. tell katie ajer to accept my friend request so i can tag her.
Hey Lady! Thanks for the comment, I love your photography website!! I actually didnt know you were doing that... I love the photos on your site! Hows everything else going w/ you?
Hey Kate! I never saw your comment you left! Thanks, and you are very welcome, I hope your Chasing Daylight goes far. I am headed to Italy for a week doing a yoga retreat, in Tuscany. Really excited. I am super jealous you got to spend a month there! I work with a girl who just lived there for a year! I would so do that! I hope you're well, take good care!
dude you have so many albums its redonkulous! if you wanna post that pic you can just copy it so you can tag them in it. facebook is not yet my friend :l
It was pretty nice. Lots of people just laying around having fun. We actually liked Beatrixpark better though. It was a bit more wild and way less people. Unfortunately the hotel was holding our bags as we walked around waiting for check in time that day so we didn't have our cameras.
yup, absolutely! The ones with the red background and all the other ones. They were all taken in my home, the red background is actually a small blanket I had in my closet.
yeah i'm going... i was going to buy the four pack grass seats for 60 bucks... two for me and my man unit and then two for des... i think des might bring someone else too, so maybe we should consider 2 four packs, if rachel is bringing someone and i'm assuming ian will be going??? wow... that's my detail oriented ocd personality coming out... :D
Thanks so much! I couldn't have done it without my Alli helping me out. I can't wait bc then I will be about to have you take some pictures of me and my pup! Yay! Krista
Dude, I still believe semi-hightop running shoes complementing a sleeveless floral dress to be one of the hottest styles around. That combined with Keersten's (Kersten? Agh.) Amish attire and my dark blue tshirt featuring dolphins swimming in space paired with black high water jeans- I mean really. It's a wonder why everyone at Spring Valley Middle School didn't worship us daily. It's a tough job being that amazing.
In regards to the engagement- I'm engaged with no marriage date in sight. lol. So...it's more of a promise-to-be-really-engaged engagement. But whatever. It's real enough to us! ;) When we formalize it however, you'll be the first I call to set up a photoshoot!
I'd really love to plan a 6th grade reunion though! And by reunion I of course mean you and Keeeeesten (I'll just add in extra "e"s to cover up how I don't know how to spell her name). I could pretty much do without seeing anyone else from 6th grade. Just our friends. So when I can make it down to SD in the near future, I'll let you know and perhaps we can plan a lovely rendezvous! What fun!
Happy Birthday birthday buddy
