post squam feelings*
thea on the dock near our cabin, canon 40D
I'm home,
and happier than I have been in so long.
Feeling loved.
Seen.
Inspired.
Moved.
Broken.
Put back together.
Unfolded.
Understood.
Found.
Connected.
Drenched in woods and lake.
Blissfully exhausted.
Belly hurts from laughter.
Mouth hurts from smiling.
Eyes heavy from joyful tears.
I am so tired from only a few hours of sleep per night and therefor cannot form complete sentences. Just know that I spent today, my birthday, in the arms of the man I love and missed so deeply, sharing all the stories that have shifted my life in such a beautiful way.
It was surreal and in a few days, I hope to find a way to express the magic and warmth that I was surrounded with during my time at Squam. I thought this photo I took of Thea sums up the essence of it all quite well.

Sometimes stories don't have to be told in complete sentences, a few words can be enough.
Lots of warm hugs,

i am new to your blog. i just visited your website and want to say congratulations. i am trolling through websites to find inspiration (not visually but by others taking the plunge, acting, doing...) to start my own small something with my photography. So, your blog was a blessing to find today. and, you also have a great blogroll, i am enjoying just about every one i click on.

125{ish} women doesn't seem like that huge of a group, YET, I read your blog all the time, was at SQUAM and I don't think I know who you are....and for that, I'm so sad !!!
I would have loved to put your name and face together...
next year ???
and happy birthday.....
It was lovely, lovely, lovely to meet you in person. I can't wait to hang the two bottle prints I bought.
I just checked out your photography website and can only say this: You have found your passion and your gift, and put forth a website that expresses it beautifully. Pure magic. If you ever come to Pittsburgh again, let me know so I can think about hiring you for a photo shoot!
You say it's your birthday? It's my birthday too! Love the new photo website. I'm not sure how to say this right, but I love the eyes in your pictures. They jump out at you and you have to stare for a moment. You're an awesome photographer.

I hope you had a wonderful birthday.
