SHARING.THE.LOVE.

first things first... i love my wife [duh, she's awesome]. carlie renee pretty much rocks my world! not only did she pack my lunch today [complete with a valentine note on my napkin], but she 'gets' me. carlie is the kind of girl that really thinks about a gift before she gives it, the kind of girl that does everything with passion, whether its planning a wedding, finding recipes, or watching biggest loser. i love you babe.

moving on, last week a friend passed some love along and it made my week. so i wanted to share.

the phone rang, and i picked up cheerfully, though having not recognized the number on caller id. funny thing, it was a familiar voice... none other than my fellow blogger & photog friend, ashley parsons of kansas city. now, every once in a while, a fellow photographer will pass along a referral if she receives an inquiry for a day she is already booked. but a referral for a day open on her calendar, because the photog thinks it might be in the best interest of her client, is what sets ashley in rare air.

[the parson's... raddest family that side of the mississippi... although my geography is no good so i actually don't know which side of the mississippi they are on]

thank you ashley, for sharing the love. carlie and i can't wait to meet the parson family [beach-day in august?]! have a rockin v-day!

  3. That's my brother! And sister-in-law! And nephews! I can confidently say that they ARE the coolest family THAT side of the Mississippi, whichever side they're on. Because I don't know where the Mississippi is (Mississippi?).

  7. Gabriel your photos rock. Thanks for the comment on my blog. I look forward to meeting you in Vegas. Isn't it awesome to be married? My wife, Victoria, would pack me lunch everyday when I used to go to work at an office job.
