friday afternoon attitude check.

too much introspection can be a dangerous thing, but not enough will quickly find you without friends and/or with several jail sentences.

advice for all of humanity:

– start thinking of what your impact is on the lives of others (good and bad)

– stop criticizing people because it makes you feel better

– have a little empthay

– have a little sympathy

– know the difference between the two

– “be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.” -plato

– and get this button. wear it. say it. remind yourself:

raleigh wedding photographer: julie+evan

on may 30th i had the privledge of photographing the wedding of Julie and Evan Magill. their ceremony was at the raleigh rose garden and little theater and their reception was at their house. it was an absolutely beautiful wedding with the bride and groom being a really adorable couple. i am so thankful to have photographed the wedding of this amazing couple! julie, evan, and their guests made the wedding a blast.

it was also a privledge to work with reverend barbara lodge at the ceremony. her service was gorgeous and reflected the love between julie and evan perfectly. to learn more about rev. lodge’s services, please visit her website at http://www.ncweddingminister.com. she also runs a great blog that updates all of her travels and events.
