anna joy photo: April 2009

tuesday?

i had an beeautiful shoot this weekend and hopefully will be able to post a few photos from it :) in the meantime... the future reality sf pastor kicked my butt with a message out of hebrews chapter 12, so i thought i'd post it below if anyone has some free listening time on their hands. also the song below is a new secret one i've never heard before by phil wickham, that gracie showed me the other day. i get hooked on songs and listen over and over again until i get sick of them. but this one is my current favorite :) i have three senior portrait shoots coming up and i will definitley keep you all posted :) ! happy tuesday?

gracie lemos is the greatest person alive. we've been friends for 5 years and i love her more than i even know how to say. we've grown so much together and she is always such an amazing example of how to humbly and honestly and whole-heartedly follow Jesus. i couldn't have even dreamed up a more perfect best friend!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BFF!!

hiiiii! so i need to post more- yes yes i do. theres been a lot of fun things going on around here- and a lot of cool shoots coming up. two fun facts though for today...

1) my wonderful friend lizzy estrada shot her first wedding (yay!) last sunday in laguna beach. i tagged along for fun and she did a great job! and much to my surprise i came home yesterday morning and found a beeeautiful bouquet of flowers on my porch!!! with a pretty little thank you note from her that said the nicest things ever!! i've never gotten flowers before!! I will post a picture when i find my flash card reader... oopsies.

2) also i found this pretty little painting thingy on etsy (oh gosh, i love etsy. if you dont know what etsy is... go check it. etsy.com!!) you can view the shop it came from by clickin' right here! it happens to be gracing my desktop right now because its adorable.

thats all for now! hope you didn't fall asleep reading my super exciting post... WOW!
