I believe in dreaming, dreaming BIG. So when you throw your dreams out to the universe, announce your intentions to the world, and something gets shouted back to you? You take it and run with it.

A few months ago I’d blogged about wanting to return to Europe- it’d been such an inspirational experience for me last summer, and I wanted to feel the thrill of sheer inspiration once again. I didn’t have anything in the form of firm plans, per se, just the determination to go. And then Heather, one of my 2013 brides and dear friends, contacted me to let me know she’d actually be going home to Ireland to visit family this Spring, and perhaps we’d be able to make plans abroad? It was all I needed- suddenly this trip was happening.

Heather, photographing you at the Cliffs of Moher was an experience I’ll always treasure! You are such a joy to be around and I’m so thankful to have spent the time with you and your dad! Thank you, from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, for such an indescribably wonderful afternoon. Love you forever, missy!
