my friend Britney is one of the most beautiful persons I know - when she walks into a room she brings sunshine and her smile will cut through even the grumpiest mood!
we were in the same class together in university before she transferred to UNB. since then however, we have remained in touch and try to find times in the midst of our busy schedules to meet up. after not seeing one another all summer we finally made a plan to meet approximately half way between our houses (Brit lives in Saint John); we decided to meet in Saint George, take the ferry to Deer Island and explore a little. we each packed a lunch, stopped in at the Country Market in Saint George for coffee and fudge, and then ventured to Deer Island accompanied by a little fluff ball named Ruthie, my one year old puppy.
we made our way around the island finding the "point," where we came across a grassy embankment overlooking the Passamaquoddy Bay. after having our lunch we went for a short walk on the beach that turned into an impromtu photo shoot at Britney's suggestion, and i am so glad she did! this turned into one of my favorite photo series! Britney was so fun to have in front of my camera. i particularly loved the childlikeness and playfulness that she exudes... and the grace and pure joy that accompanies this! i always feel so loved and accepted after spending time with Britney, even when it's only a few minutes!! moreover, Britney is wise beyond years... a real contemplative soul seeking a life full of truth and striving to affirm the dignity and humanity in others (Britney spent the summer working for Camp Rotary and is preparing to start her new position as a live in assistant for the L'Arche Community in Saint John).
the first photo displayed here is my absolute favorite.. i smile and giggle every time I see it! Brit's smile and laugh are infectious (infectious in the good way).
