Inspire Me Monday--Falling Slowly

I've had this song in my head for days.  Its sweet and imperfect, kinda how I see my own life.  Its from an indie film set in Ireland called Once, which I haven't seen. (And I probably won't--I like the song on its own.  Sometimes knowing where it came from can alter what it meant to you the first time you encountered it).  I love the last shot with the camera panning across the sun-lit windows and resting on a view of them inside.



I also love Kris Allen's version of it.  Check it out here:

Post edit:
Holy cow.  I got told to check out Lee Dewyze and Crystal Bowersox in the comments.  I don't watch American Idol because I get major anxiety for the performers (don't ask me why.) but sometimes I catch their standout performances later on.  can't believe I missed this one! Check it out! Same song, different style...still gutwrenching.



And Linda Eder's exquisite version:

(I swear Erin I'm going to have to check this lady out.  Seems like we have a lot of musical choices in common!! :)

And a live Letterman performance by the original duo!  So many ways to love one song!!

Eva and Aaron's sneak peek

I was lucky to be able to spend the afternoon with this cute couple and their sweet little girl after they were sealed in the Bountiful LDS temple.  It was a hot July September day, that is for sure!  But what blue blue skies!

Tayler and Stefanie are now Mr. and Mrs!

And I couldn't be happier for them!  It was such a beautiful day.

Have fun on your honeymoon you two! :)

Annicka and Matts groomal sneak peek

This has been the perfect evening! Great session with my buds Annicka and Matt, then home to watch the season premiere of Fringe.  I'm a girl of simple pleasures. :)

Chad and Breanne

Chad and Breanne got married on my 5 year anniversary--8/9/10.  I'm pretty sure thats a good omen. :)  I am a little disappointed though...I'll miss hanging out with them!

The guy in the middle on the right cracks me up!

I think Breanne won this round!

The Kunz Family

The Kunz Family was awesome...I met them for the first time the night of their session!  I can't believe how sweet these boys were, I'm not kidding they were perfect angels.  Well, as far as I could see. I'm sure their mother could say otherwise!  And I can still name all of them, so I'm ready for the next time! :) Thanks again guys!
