I love when I get to write about people I love.there is the confidence that I am writing online and I'm not saying these words actually out loud.which is a good thing, because typically when I have to speak my heart, my voice shakes and I end up crying like a hot mess.but I love these people, and write about them?  I must. :)jeremy.one of the few genuine encourager's I have in the creative world.his current role at our church has him creating less, but having just been to his house - creativity is far from lacking.in his front room (which I searched high and far on the internet for a post of it somewhere - to no avail)is my most favorite thing he's created...mixing imagery with heartfelt words.  favorite by far.but one of my favorite things in being his creative friend, is his pause. :)the "I like it buuuuuuut..." face. :)  he never offer's his whole opinion in the effort to be encouraging to me.but I love, love, LOVE that he's honest.  and I value his real honest opinion.he makes me think bigger, color bolder and see design in ways I don't.a true creative friend. :)rachel.ah, rachel.  my good friend that I don't get to see that often.the kind of friend that can laugh through tears, can love through pain, can find humor where there seems to be little.I simply love her.I don't love that she can't see the beauty that she radiates, but I suppose that adds to her.it's like that song, she don't know she's beautiful.and she most definitely is. :)and the boys.the comedic-full-of-personality adorable ALL BOY boys.this session was fun for me to simply run around after them and see them just be boys.contrast it to some of the updates she posts of their bodies struggle to be ALL BOY and days like this feel precious to me. :)yes, I love this family.and it was my privilege to get to spend an afternoon with them seeing them be them. :)
