I had the honor of capturing my friend Jess & her husband Gareth during the last few weeks of her pregnancy. Welcome Baby Markey, we can't to meet you! You are already so loved...
I am still on a finish line high (from the couch under a blanket). And it's stilllllll raining. Yesterday was more than I ever thought it would be. I could never have dreamed of the amazingness. It was so much more than that. And it has taken me until this morning to really even comprehend what went down yesterday. Like WHAT the HECK went DOWN... Pure awesomeness. We started our morning with a ride into Hopkinton by Mimi & Pepere (thank you so much for making our morning easier). As I sat on the bus to the Athlete's Village I just kept hearing people buzzing around me but in my head I kept repeating, "I am on a bus to Athlete's Village, to run the Boston Marathon. I am on a bus to Athlete's Village to run the Boston Marathon" What in the heck! It literally felt like going to the Hunger Games. I was praying the "odds would be in my favor" It was so brutally cold. It was winter. It's still winter. It's always winter in New Englan...
Our world needs a cure. It's been soooooo long since I've written. Running the Boston marathon for Dana Farber was such an amazing experience that I'll remember so vividly, hopefully forever. We all have these moments that are engrained in our brain. Moments that leave us so emotional and sometimes without words, until you can find the right words to say. Words that will do the experience justice. Words that will share something special. Words that will teach someone something. We've all collected so many moments like that. And yesterday was one. We spent the day at Boston Chil dren's Hospital volunteering for the Mix 104.1 Cares For Kids Radiothon. We were asked to have this honor by our friends at the Joseph Middlemiss Big Heart Foundation. The Middlemiss' are part of the incredible family at BCH through their heartbreaking and inspiring journey with cardiomyopathy. And they continue fighting in honor of their son Joseph and for his brother Jack, every sin...
Happy New Year 2013! I am starting off the year on a level 10. Out of 10. I hope it lasts! I am using my winter downtime to edit, shoot, edit, shoot some more, follow my favorite photography blogs, read as much as I can, take more (yes, even more) photos of my own family and take part (okay committing to) my first ever Project 52. Committing. That's huge. One photo a week. For 52 weeks. I can do that. It's not as easy as it sounds but we all know I love a challenge. Let's see if I can stick to it. Fingers crossed. Week 1: Time. I wish it would stand still. Next Up: Fresh. Stay Tuned
