Lisa and Nick's baby pics

Lisa's prego... :) I've watched this girl grow up and through so many things, it''s hard to remember all of the memories. I think some of the funniest things we ever did involved some sort of dress up and me taking photos. I remember one that we did that involved lots of blue eye shadow, hot pink lipstick, different colored nails, and pig tails in her hair. Wow, those were the good old days I guess :) But, times change, no hot pink lipstick here, but she's still the beautiful girl I remember, and the best model I've ever worked with. :) Can't wait for the baby photos!!! (and, it will be a reason to come to CA!!

been editing photos and playing all day.'t

"Have you ever driven down a road that you drive every day and you think to yourself... wait... did I miss my exit or something? this doesn't look familiar... and then you realize that it's not that you aren't paying attention this time, it's that you are, and every other time you were asleep" this was Kris's realization this morning while we drove towards base at 5 am. I decided to try to photograph the things one might miss on their way to and from work everyday. I plan on adding to this, considering I drop him off every once in a while :)

And so it goes,

Early to rise and early to bed
Makes a man healthy and wealthy and dead.
~James Thurber, Fables for Our Times, 1940

we just can't seem to force ourselves to go to bed early, as if something at midnight will happen and we'll totally miss out. Like Cinderella backwards syndome. Wow. Okay, time for more editing of photos... hope you enjoy

Much love, KT

starting back up with the posting :)

I've been slacking a little lately with everything on my blog. So, here's some old work I've done that you may not have seen :)

some studio work, some on location, some intimate portraits of Lisa and Nick.

back to childhood days

-something I found online- after many moments this past week of laughing hysterically until we cried. I really started thinking about how much people get caught up in being stuck up their own buts and really don't let themselves relax and have fun. Went to Rvens game with Kris, dressed up and felt awesome. Walked around downtown baltimore all day ahahha got lots of crazy looks, but it was so much fun. being apart from him has been the hardest months of my life. Look... see that smile? it's the 9th wonder of the world... i promise. let it go down in history.

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8 year-old again.

I want to go to McDonald's and think that it's a four star restaurant.

I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make a sidewalk with rocks.

I want to think M&Ms are better than money because you can eat them.

I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.

I want to return to a time when life was simple, when all you knew were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes; but that didn't bother you because you didn't know what you didn't know and you didn't care. All you knew was to be happy because you were blissfully unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset.

I want to think the world is fair; that everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.

I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things again.

I want to live simple again.

I don't want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved ones.

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, kind words, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, mankind, and making angels in the snow.

So, here's my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements.

I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you'll have to catch me first, cause. . .

"Tag! You're it."
