merry new year to you

when I blog this (in its entirety) I will tell you about how special it was to me. how wonderful it felt to see it fall into place--chapters in a book. I'll tell you about the details, because those are important. 

but for now just know that this was magic. and not the kind of magic I normally talk about. this was the kind that sets your skin on fire--the kind that creates. the kind that tells a story and breaths life. true magic. the kind you seek out because it overwhelms. 

oh man. if this is 2014, then i hope it lasts forever. 

hair & makeup was done by the crazy amazing talented, Sydney Lopez (you can see more of her work here). model is sweet little LA girl, mckenzie eckels (this girl is going places and she's getting there fast). 

2013 was really hard. and I'm sure 2014 will have difficult moments, too. but what a way to start this next season, and say goodbye to an old one. 

xo,
