What I’m Loving: March 28

It’s been long enough.  I need to write another one of these what I’m loving posts, not because it’s been a long time, but because I have a few really cool things I’m loving lately.  Enjoy!

The Power of Half – I picked this book up based on the cover (yes, I judge books by their covers), and I’m SO GLAD that I did.  It tells the story of a family who decides to sell their house and donate half the money to a good cause.  It’s an easy read, super inspirational and has definitely inspired some awesome changes in the way Jenny & I not only interact with our kids, but how we choose to give back.  More info on that will be announced soon enough (although if you check out our “fun links” tab at the top, you’ll get an idea of where we’re headed).

I love Sheye Rosemeyer.  Her photography is beautiful.  She’s STRONGER than most of us will ever be (just read through her blog and you’ll know what I’m talking about).  Well, her post the other day, Giving-ness {The Me I Want To Be}, got me thinking. Just read this quote:

“I aspire to live with giving.”

Ok, now go read the rest of the post.  Then, think about all the wonderful things that you have to give to your friends, to your family, to random strangers.  Give freely, give passionately.  We CAN all make a difference.  I know that I’m going to strive to give even more than I already do.  Giving unselfishly all that I possibly can makes me feel good, and that’s what life is all about right?

I want to end with an image from a session I’m working on.  I won’t go into much detail other than:

1. He’s in the military.

2. He’s being deployed in a couple of months.

3. This image is everything I love about photography.  She absolutely LOVES her husband.  When people open up and connect to each other, it’s just beautiful.
