It was a week or so before Christmas when I got a call from my dear friend Emily. We were chatting it up, updating each other the the latest happenings, telling tales of the days of old when she asked me what I was doing that coming weekend. I could sense the schemes she was […]

This past summer, I worked on a website project for a good friend of mine and well, I’ve been meaning to share it for quite a while and finally I’m getting around to it. Yay. Her name is Lesley and she’s one of the most talented, genuine, grounded and encouraging people I know. Lesley has […]

My first official weekend in Seattle, my friend John invited me up to his neck of the woods for a outdoor adventure with his family through Lord Hill Regional Park. So we booted up and made our way through puddles, frost bitten fallen leaves and mossy forests…taking pictures all along the way. John is a photographer as […]

I’ve known this one her entire life. I remember when her parents first introduced us to their new wee lass and when she learned her pleases and thanks yous. I babysat her and her brother Taylor, spent countless 4th of July’s and lake days on Crowley with her and her family and shared many a […]

I’m struggling with my words today. Awesome. Haha. Perhaps today’s just one of those days where I should let the pictures speak for themselves and leave it at that…but then again, there are few things I’d like to say about Chandler…so here we go.

Michele is a dear friend of mine and someone I’ve blogged about many a time here on the trusty J. Shipley Blog. She’s just that cool and she’s just that important to me. Just over three years ago, she started an awesome coaching and consultation company called The Moxy Project. I designed her website and had a […]

Sarah is quite literally one of the sweetest people I know. She’s the type of person who makes the lasting first impression where you walk away thinking, “She may very well be the nicest person I know!” She and Isaac have been friends for many years and went to college together, and I for one […]

She loves swimming and photography.  And she’s addicted to shopping at Urban Outfitters. She dreams of one day going into pediatrics and plans on studying human biology & Spanish when she runs off to college next year. When you first meet her, you can quickly tell that she is the type of person that people gravitate […]
