THE ONES WHO GET ME.

as we prepare to leave new york and say goodbye to the life we've built here, I've stressed quite a bit over how to maintain my closest friendships from a distance. there are a few people I'm simply not prepared to live without: the ones who get my weird sense of humor, who will listen to me weighing the pros and cons of two different cameras for days on end, who make sure I know when there is a friends marathon happening on thanksgiving, who patiently view 12 pics sent from my iPhone when I'm trying to pick an outfit & who feel comfortable telling me when I'm being a total donkey. these friendships have shaped me, and my heart aches when I think about not seeing these women all the time. however, I know we've got a lot of adventures ahead of us, and I'm so grateful that we all found each other. they get me.

oh, and the answer to my worries? skype wine & sushi dates.

friends.




























this photo was a joint effort between me and alice.
she gets my excitement over things like creamy film tones and mustard yellow shoes :)

*reading over this (and in response to a reader comment), it occurred to me that I haven't formally announced the changes in our life on this blog! brian and I are leaving nyc for good on wednesday. we'll be spending time with family over the holidays, and leaving at the beginning of february to backpack through southeast asia for a few months. when we return to the states in may or june, we plan on moving down to nashville, tn to start a new phase in our lives. and to make all this more exciting, I'll officially be doing photography full time! I'm so pumped for everything to come, and look forward to sharing our experiences here :) that being said, a teeny piece of my heart is staying behind in this city.
