Findley Spencer is 2!

It’s hard to believe that we’ve already spent two years with this little lady! She is bright, expressive, and loves people. We are so thankful to have her as part of the Harms clan. And we had a blast celebrating at her ‘Foxy Birthday Bash’ last week!

// Findley Spencer Harms //

We welcome with more gratitude than our hearts can hold–Findley Spencer Harms.  She was born on 3/3/11 at  7:11pm. 5lbs 14oz. 19 in.

She entered the world with more bravery than we have ever witnessed. Indeed, she is our little fair warrior. Due to her rough entry and dangerous first few moments of life, she is spending the coming days in the NICU, as she fends off any potential infections and continues to recover her strength.

She is beyond beautiful. We are so thankful. Without a doubt, we have tasted God’s faithfulness.

We would be so thankful for your prayers in the coming days for our little Findley.

Much love,
Ben+Whitney+Findley

she floats my boat.

5 years ago on this day… (well it was a Saturday, but you get my drift) we two little young tikes promised forever.

And if the last five years have been only the beginning of forever….

Then that my friends, is quite possibly the greatest decision anyone could ever make.

Here’s to the girl who stole my heart at 16 and who keeps stealing it every day…

MOBILE DIGS!

We are stoked to announce the crazy little adventure that has been the past two weeks of our lives. Here’s the skinny…

Mobile Digs.

Most people that have some sort of online portfolio (insert photographers, graphic designers, architects, interior designers, hand models, marketing firms, etc.), all have portfolios based in Flash. Problem being that Flash doesn’t work at all on mobile devices (insert iPhone, Blackberry, Google Android, etc.) 

Until now. (insert Mobile Digs). 

We have created a super easy, yet totally good looking solution so that when someone visits your online portfolio from a mobile device, they are automatically redirected to this awesomely gorgeous, yet totally speedy lil’ new portfolio that actually works on said mobile device. (insert applause). 

So please, stop by our new site and check it out. Say hello. Tell your friends. Tell all your friends. Even tell your Aunt Myrtle. Heck… buy a copy for yourself. 

We are thrilled about this new adventure. 

For the many lovely friends we have at this here blog… (all 18 of you :) ) we thought we’d throw out a little love. When checking out use the coupon code brightenlovesyou and save half off. (Normal price is $39 bucks. That means you get a swanky new iPhone friendly site for less than 20 bucks. Score.) 

Feel free to pass that code around to anyone else whom you might think will enjoy it. We’ll keep that code good till February 27th. 

And much thanks to my buddy Chris from Anova Solutions, who spent an ungodly amount of time helping get this thing ready over the past two weeks, so that we could spread the word at WPPI. You are an unreal dude and I can’t wait to share a drink with you soon. Thanks bro.

Cheers!
