amy jane | SENIOR 2014

if you've been around here for basically any amount of time, you've probably heard me talking about my best friend and how completely awesome she is. well, last weekend, we spent a few days together and i shot her senior photos. and these were what happened. (ya'll, these are some of my favorite portrait shots i've ever taken, because I mean come on!? look at her. ;) model material right there. 


“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."  
― Roald Dahl 


“Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.”   
―Maya Angelou




“Look at everything always as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time: Thus is your time on earth filled with glory.”  
― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn



isn't she such a beauty??

a short film for you to watch | what makes your heart beat?


(i stumbled across this beautiful little video today and i just knew i had to share it.)

THREE THINGS THAT MAKE MY HEART BEAT:

i.   i choose Jesus. not only does He literally breath life into my lungs and put the beat in my heart, but He loves me, every broken peace of me.
ii.   i choose the hearts of people.
iii.   i choose simple moments. the ones that happen- just happen in the messy moments in life. the ones that make your heart feel alive. the ones that feel infinite.

what are your three things? do tell.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK | part iii




  --------------------------------------------------   V I S I T I N G  O L D  F A I T H F UL  -----------------------------------------------------

(pc: a kind stranger)


we walked 2.5 miles in the drizzling rain, wearing garbage bags. (okay okay, they were ponchos, but i prefer to call it as i see it.)
and watched Old Faithful through 3,700 to 8,400 gallons of water in the air, twice.
we also had the world's best froyo-- you guys, i don't care how overpriced it is, you have to try huckleberry froyo.

xoxo.

a never-to-be-forgotten summer.




“all in all, it was a never-to-be-forgotten summer — one of those summers which come seldom into any life, but leave a rich heritage of beautiful memories in their going — one of those summers which, in a fortunate combination of delightful weather, delightful friends and delightful doing, come as near to perfection as anything can come in this world.”  
― l.m montgomery, anne's house of dreams
it was a summer filled with new places, new discoveries, old friends, good laughter, and beautiful times.
hello autumn! you're looking lovely already.
