our beautiful everydays
we’ve spent the last almost 5 years doing just what we wanted- when we wanted. we’ve spent spring days in the grass smelling flowers and dirt and feeling our skin warm in the sun. we’ve spent hot summer days in the park for hours filling shoes with sand and duck bellies with bread crumbs. in the fall we walked […]
beyond snapshots- reminding me to include myself

art school and previous lives
