Michelle, Scott, and Sawyer! :)

Most of us have mentors who have impacted our lives in one way or another. I've been so blessed to have several who have formed me into the person that I am, and Michelle and Scott are definetly two of those people. I met Michelle in college, she is an incredibly gifted songwritter . She and Scott have both done so much to shape my views on art, faith, and the way the two of those interact together in changing the world. Going down to their home has always been a retreat for me, a pilgrimage to a Mecca of sorts. :)

Three years ago they were blessed to introduce their son Sawyer to the world. That is a story unto itself, suffice to say that he had numerous medical issues surrounding his birth, and the fact that he is alive today and as healthy as he is is nothing short of a miracle. Last Friday I went down to Pasadena to help Scott out with some images for his Natural Walls business and afterwords hung out with the three of them and got to capture them being....them! :)







I couldn't come all the way down without getting to hear a little bit of Michelle's music.....and of course, I couldn't go more than 5 mins without grabbing my camera and getting some more shots. :)






Of course, after a few mins Sawyer heard the music and needed to get a front row seat! :)




Towards the end of the day Scott and I were talking and Michelle was giving Sawyer a bath and Michelle came in and told us that Sawyer only wanted one of us to shampoo his hair! This was too good a photo opp to pass up so I grabbed the camera again! :)



After the bath, I got to do the honors of reading Sawyer a book before bedtime (about all the differnt kinds of "big trucks" and Scott was sly enough to catch a picture. :)



Can't wait for next time!! :)
