Truth: I am really attached to my hair. I don’t mean just literally, that much is obvious, but it’s who I am. My hair is such a big part of my personal identity – it’s how I feel… me. Photo by: Kimberly Reid Photography
I can’t believe I never posted these, but it must have been fate as tomorrow is this beautiful lady’s birthday and I can think of no better way to celebrate her than showering her with compliments in this post. I have nothing but infinite fabulous things to say about her, so let’s begin.
Beautiful images!
Beautiful photos!
She’s beautiful and so are your photos!
Such a beautiful smile, she is a natural in front of the camera. Love how you captured her personality!
Gorgeous! What a super sweet birthday message!
Last month I saw an awesome post about how Sue Bryce got her very first camera returned to her as a gift from the woman who had bought it. This post sent me on a mental hunt to find out what had happened to my own first camera. Of course, during this journey down memory lane…
This is awesome! My first camera is right next door, in the hands of an amazing 16 year old with a natural eye for composition. Loved this 🙂
Allison, that’s a truly beautiful story! I love how you’ve passed on your camera… and likely supported the next generation of photographers!
This is great! My first camera I “bought” myself from saving up stamps in the little booklet at the grocery store…I was 9…it was hot pink plastic and surprisingly lasted me through high school. It’s somewhere on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico after a night out on our Senior trip. Those images are probably best left unseen 😉
Love this! I love hearing where first cameras came from… especially from my fellow photographers!
Oh this is such a sweet blog post! Loved reading it and learning about your journey. I swear, photography must be in the blood! Funny how we creatives follow similar paths (even if we don’t know it!)
Neat! What a great post! My first film camera, my parents gave me/ My first digital was a $99 kodak. 🙂
That’s so awesome! Would love to see the winning photo! My very 1st film slr (canon ae-1) which was given to me by my dad (who died 16 yrs ago) recently made its way back to me! I gave it to my teenaged niece like 15 years ago! My 1st dslr was gifted to a girl in Sweden!
There are only two times I can remember Pogo ever needing me. She was the most independent creature I ever knew, and looking back now, I can see just how alike we were. They say that dogs resemble their owners, and while Pogo and I didn’t share any physical characteristics, emotionally we were almost one in the same….
Casey, thank you so much for writing this. Tears as I read about Pogo’s impact on your life. What a sweet dog. 🙂
Jenny, thank YOU for reading it! I know it was long and it means a lot that people read her story. She most certainly was a sweet girl and I love the life she lived.
So touching! My dog, Emmylou, has made such a huge impact in my life the past ten years. She really is family!
To Pogo <3 What a truly beautiful story, it brought tears to my eye reading about your sweet dog and how much she taught you about yourself <3
Beautiful. So touching. Rest and peace to you, Pogo.
What a beautiful story. The images telling her story are beautiful as well, and I know you will cherish them forever! Pets are such a special part of our lives, I know I wouldn’t be a happy person without my furry babies!
Beautiful story, I can relate so much. Rest in Peace Pogo xxx
What a sweet story. You gave Pogo a great life.
What a beautiful story and even more awesome that you have so many beautiful images of your fur baby! I can’t even imagine loosing Pogo as I know that my beautiful fur baby is like my bestie!
Aww, so sorry to learn of Pogo’s passing! She was such a character! May the road rise up to meet her in heaven too. Hugs to you.
Thanks, Holly! I know I will see her again some day and I’m just so thankful she lived such a beautiful and full life.
This is sweet 🙂 As a girl who is turning 31 in a few weeks, I can say that 30 is a great year! Happy early birthday.
Love the look of this photo. Good job
Happy almost birthday! I can’t wait to see the after photo! How awesome to donate it so many times!
What gorgeous hair you have. Two thoughts: 30 is awesome. Hair always grows back. 🙂
her here is everything!!!! Love these!
Thirties are the best!
Gosh I wish we lived near each other because I think we’d be BFF’S!! Your hair is beautiful but I love that you’re donating it!! I like you love my hair but have donated it a few times and getting ready to do it again! Happy Birthday by the way (I may belated!!)
This is an amazing image 😀 I love everything about it – the styling, the bicycle, the pretty light…. Gorgeous!
love this photo
