{reflections}

My little sister, Katie, and I met down at Reeds Lake last night. It was 

our Dad's birthday. He died unexpectedly when we were young so we always 

try to be together, at least for a little while, on March 17. He would have been 49.

I brought our lab, Addie, along and Katie brought some ice cream along too :). 

We got down there right before sunset and I couldn't believe how beautiful the lake looked. 

There were shades of blue, pink, and purple bouncing off of the water. 

It was so peaceful and uplifting - just what Katie and I needed.

Addie enjoyed herself too :)

If you get a chance, you should check out Katie's blog {Becoming Mr & Mrs}. 

She's getting married this summer and does a great job writing about it. 

Also, big thanks to my cousin, Dayna (of Dayna Loves Photography), for encouraging me to

spread my wings beyond just portrait/wedding  photography and appreciate the beauty in nature!

...happy birthday daddy...
