Kathryn:

This summer Kathryn asked me to take her senior photos.

So exciting, but also a little intimidating---

I had never done something like that before:

senior photos just have such an expectation of how they're supposed to look, & what sort of style they're supposed to be. And of course the basic fact that Kathryn is such a friend of mine made me feel even more pressured about how they would turn out.

However, Kathryn is approximately the easiest model ever. She loves pictures and she has the most joyful smile ever--making things that much better. Aside from nearly getting stampeded by a pregnant cow, the photo shoot was a success.

Sitting in Windows

The month of July for me was spent mostly in the wonderful country of Germany, on a missions trip, with five other wonderful people from my school.

During the last week of our trip, my team stayed in a hostel, called The Three Little Pigs--- coolest place ever.

Things that I loved about this place:

1. the name

2. the fact that it was an ex-convent

3. the fact that it was attached to the most amazing hidden little catholic church with the most beautiful, quiet inside-- I discovered this one night with Amber

4. the windows in our room had the most wonderful view and were perfect for sitting in--which leads me to these
