portrait: Nau and Later

Once upon a time, I met a girl on the internet. She was a fashion blogger. I read her blog religiously and hoped that one day we could meet and be best friends.

Finally, we got together with our mutual friend, Shelby and had a lady date at Nau's Enfield Drug (which in case you've never been, is the cutest little soda shop that you ever did see). Obviously, we had to mark the occasion by taking photos of her fabulous outfit.

You can read her post about that fabulous fuzzy vest (plus other outfits and thoughts about style) on her blog, Writes Like a Girl. Here's to more lady dates and collaborations in the future!

morning breath: Thomas Thompson

The second video in the Morning Breath series features one of my oldest friends, Thomas.

I had a wonderful time visiting Thomas over the holidays - expect more performance videos from him soon.

morning breath: M.D. Minor

M.D. is a spectacular person, poet and friend to bounce ideas off of.

We got together recently and recorded the first video in a new series of slam poetry performances.

Haley balances not only being a fashionable, sassy blogger, but life with Pulmonary Hypertension as well. She's an amazing advocate for the invisible disease and a strong, surviving woman.

I love keeping up with her blog, and hope that we find a way to get more shoots in despite living so far away from each other. You can read more about our day in her Boot Season post!

senior: Miranda

This girl is not old enough to be a high school senior. At least, it doesn't feel like she should be. I first met Miranda as a Camp Aide a couple years ago. Since then, she's moved up to a co-worker and chosen a college to attend in the fall. Makes me feel pretty old.

After I got over feeling so old, we decided to meet up for a few senior pictures. We both froze out in the snow, but I think it was worth it.

Congrats on your impending graduation, Rambo. I'm so proud of you!
