Heather and Charlie Brown.

One of my goals is to take a portrait of all of my dear friends and try to capture part of their heart. This is one of my friends, Heather, from college. Heather is one of the greatest people I know. She has the spirit of a bird and the heart of lion (and the feet of a wolf). I met Heather in Boone many moons ago when we were both at Appalachian. I sadly said goodbye to the mountains, but she is in for the long haul. Heather has a way of connecting with absolutely anyone and appreciates the value of community more than anybody I know. She’s taught me a lot about the gift of friendship and how to make the best dang vegan, flourless, gluten free chocolate torte ever. This is a portrait of her at her house in Boone.
