My best friend Lucy lives in Minnesota and we’re only together once or twice a year. During our most recent visit (along with her sister) the conservatory doubled as an afternoon outing and brilliant shoot location. Special thanks to my brother Christopher for his mad skills behind the camera.

my friends are telling me I should, um, update my blog more often. here starts the attempt.

my best friend had a little girl…

Ryan Seaton (previously with Signature Sound) recently launched his solo career with an intimate debut concert. It was an incredible night full of love and support. The remarkable and palatable sense of energy still has me excited three weeks later. He sang, he talked, and he stood, overwhelmed with emotion, before an erupting crowd of family, friends and fans. We loved every moment along with him.

After all the excitement and necessary mushing and gushing, Ry and I recorded a random interview of sorts that says more about our goofiness than anything.
