The launch of The World in My Backyard

I have been waiting (and working) for months for this day.  I am beyond excited to announce the launch of The World in My Backyard.  Head to www.worldinmybackyard.org to learn all about it and follow this journey as it unfolds.  Share it with your friends, family and kids.  It is changing my life and I hope it can touch many others.

As soon as I snapped the first picture of this beautiful girl for her senior pictures I knew it was going to be an easy hour of work.  I know this cliche is over used but this young woman is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.  She will be leaving in Seattle in a few months and starting her next phase of life in our nations capital.  I know this girl is going to impact lives in big and small ways.  You just can't help but smile when you look at her pictures!  I have been super busy working to launch my new project that I hesitated to share my recent portrait work because the images are straight out of the camera but I think these are worth sharing.  And I am adding a few that we took w/ her mom.  One of the main reasons this girl is as special as she is!
