The Things I Like
Next up, playing hearts. Hearts is a family tradition for me; all the big gatherings are centered around board and card games, but especially hearts. It's so entrenched such that we have a song dedicated to my Grandmother for when she takes the queen of spades. As you can see, I'm not a very good player, but I sure have a good time!
Stella, an outtake
The secret? Well, I found a bunch of clothes at the thrift store the very day I were going to photograph her. The skirt and sweater I found at GoodWill, and she borrowed my boots to match. Who knew she'd happen to have a beautiful yellow coat to match? Fun!
Sisters: Stella & Mary, all smiles
Siblings can make you laugh. They can be friends, confidants, and more. I wish I had a sister so I could share the same kind of relationship that Stella and Mary have with each other. They're so obviously at ease and full of grace.
Artist's Way: My Inspiration Jar
Awhile back, I started an inspiration jar, made from an old mason jar whose lid I lost somewhere. I hated to let the jar go to waste, or even be recycled, since a jar can be such a useful thing, even without its lid.
Mariko & Jeff: The Invitations!
So imagine my surprise when Mariko and Jeff's invitations came in the mail the other day!
Molly beautiful: torn parasol, vintage beauty
Towards the end of the photo shoot, the sun began to set; clear, warm, and icy light all at once. I had brought with me this ancient, crusty parasol given to me by my mother-in-law; it tore when I first opened it, but it proved to be quite beautiful in spite of that!
Clap that bell
This bell rings whenever services take place on campus at Holy Cross Orthodox Seminary. I laid down underneath the bell and shot upwards in the snow.
A birdhouse where it shouldn't be
I wonder what the bird thinks of this real estate. Too much traffic, I'd say.
Favorite Images of 2009
I'm jumping on the bandwagon and sharing my ten favorite wedding images of 2009. It's so hard to narrow things down to ten. I'd probably pick a completely different set of images on any given day. But here we go...
Lonely net in landscape
There's no one playing on the fields today.
A shed in the snow
I love the color on this shed; it stood out so wonderfully in the pure white landscape.
The orb in the sky
Wonder what it is? Good, I'm not telling.
Orange and blue, brown and turquoise
I don't know what my subconscious obsession is made out of, but I'm getting suspicious that something is up. Perhaps I'm gathering these colors around me for an deeply intuitive reason. I'm also highly suspicious because I know (based on color theory) that blue and turquoise are the complementary colors of red/brown/orange. I'm also a huge fan of primary colors; I gravitate to those simple starting colors very quickly.
Handbag synchronicity
Because of this striking resemblance, I instinctively bought it. "What fun," I thought, to have my studio branding take over my everyday fashion!
Haitian Faces
If you have not done so already, please donate. Continue to pray. There are several amazing organizations out there doing what they can. Give power to the hands that are healing and helping. Better yet, consider sponsoring a child, and make a difference in the lives of the children--the future--of Haiti.
Celebratory beverages
What better way to ring in the new year than with sparkling red beverages that warm your heart & tingle your fingers? I'm a particular fan of sangria. May 2010 bring everyone many blessings....
Light that jumps and jitters
During the holidays there are so many lighting opportunities that provide me with time to play.
A book in the snow...
I'm not sure exactly how this poor book became neglected such that it was discarded in a giant snow pile. Regardless, it made for great photographic subject matter. I tossed it around in the snow with abandon.
One fence, four ways
It's amazing what a little tweaking in post-processing can do. Each person has their own photographic vision for a particular image that can go beyond the simple composition and capture with the camera.
How to Make a Sugar Snowflake
Voila! A delicious snowflake.
