A new year, a new project.
I jumped on-board of this ongoing photo project with a handful of photographers. The jist of it is 10 photos throughout the span of one day, posted on the 10th of the month. We each link to the next person’s blog so you can follow along until you get back here. If you can spare a few minutes, I urge to you check out everyone’s work – it’s worth it, I promise!

And so we begin on the first day of the new year. The last day of my husbands staycation, before we get back to our usual routine.
We are not great planners and most of our outings consist of me wanting to go somewhere and having a vague idea of just where that may be. We do a lot of driving, making stops along the way just because. It’s fun, I totally dig it though I’m sure the kids think otherwise – being strapped into a carseat for the majority of the day can’t be that super. But they got candy, so all is well. For this adventure we took the Kingston ferry because we haven’t ridden that one yet. Of course we ended up at a place we’ve already been on another adventure, but such is life.
Some of the highlights – a fish wearing jeans, “Hood anal”, old fashioned candy (love the Mary Jane wrappers!) and a sunset ferry ride.

Next stop, visit Kristin M. Young | Central Florida Photographer and check out her day!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, from my family to yours!

Knox fell the day before and got a pretty good cut on his eye which turned all bruisey and gross. I kind of like it. After all, Danger is his middle name.
Photo idea was inspired by Secrets From a Stylist, which is awesome but Emily Henderson herself is even awesomer.

Meet Delia. She’s my assistant for my handbags and helps me out tremendously. Her boyfriend of several years just left for the Philippians where he’ll be living for the next two years. He really just left- the morning after the session. We were lucky to squeeze this in at all, and the weather, well, I guess it just reflected the mood. It was supposed to be sunny and turned gray, misty and so cold, yet so beautiful. I love the quiet and stillness of it all.
It was an honor to photograph them before this huge change, and I wish them all the best.

This is one family that I really want to photograph again. They were totally cool and interesting, and I want to explore them more. But not in the creepy way that just sounded. And you know I love me a kid in glasses.

Michael was joking that yes, they do just hang out in the living room playing with Tinker Toys (winkey face), but it really got me thinking. Photo sessions can be exhausting, for all involved. I feel like I’m running at 88 miles an hour for the entire duration and the family is existing in a heightened state for the entire time. Lots of togetherness and fun and love, which is honest, but in a volume 11 sort of way. It’s “be yourself” but turned up a few notches. And keep that energy for 90 minutes. It’s tiring! What I would enjoy is a no-pressure afternoon to be a fly on the wall, exist with the family and really explore and capture them in photographs. Like an anthropologist studying a culture.

I know this post will have at least one comment about their bathtub. Amazing, isn’t it? Michael said that was the first time he ever sat in it. If it were me, I’d take baths as often as I could. Tom Ford style.

Holga Prints

October 5, 2011 |

I love playing with the Holga – shots are so random and the beauty comes from all the flaws of the technology. Light leaks, scratched film, multiple exposure… When I take my film to be developed I usually just get the negatives scanned, but this last roll I decided to print instead- bordered prints on a luscious matte paper. And they are amazing. Here’s my faves from the roll, which I have hanging on my fridge.

After a long wait, waiting for someone’s teeth to come in after being kicked out by a certain little brother, I finally had the opportunity to photograph this awesome family. Watching these boys was so entertaining, and going through the photos afterward had me even more enthralled. They are a very sporty bunch but Lucas has a beautiful stillness- a stark contrast to Colin’s wild ambition. I’ll let you decide who is who :)
