Journeying through peaches & water
Ah, the delights of peach-picking. And a cool fountain on a hot day. Here's hoping everyone's having a wonderful summer!...
The discovery of the Angel Oak
While in Charleston, South Carolina, I discovered that my husband has quite an eye with my camera when I let him loose. Yup, that's right--these three photos were all taken by my husband. They're of the Angel Oak--a beautiful, utterly...
An anniversary
But this image humbles me, as a wedding photographer. You see, it was taken by a guest--a friend--and not the professional. He got some wonderful shots of the same moment, but there's something about this shot that feels more true to that moment.
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!
Film Work: making the most of mistakes
I'd been dragging it with me everywhere, which certainly helped spur me to think more about photographing everywhere, anywhere, for whatever reason.
I have the cutest kids EVER, so there!
It's so great to have the warmer weather just around the corner. The outdoors has so much to explore and experience. I can't wait to take my kids camping in the woods so they can discover the mysteries of dirt.
Resurrecting an old project: Women with Icons
Upon joining the Orthodox church, individual believers make a connection with the saints by taking on a saint's name. This saint becomes their patron saint, protecting them and interceding for them before the throne of God.
Danielle puddlestomping
Don't you wish that you could puddle stomp EVERY DAY?
ShootStyle workshop in Ogunquit, Maine
On Sunday, I packed my bags, left the kids with daddy-o, and drove up to Ogunquit, Maine, for a workshop put on by the lovely folks at ShootStyle. After Michelle Turner went through a wonderful set of posing techniques, we...
Molly in the ball gown (or, hippy girl, continued)
Warm afternoon light at its best. These last shots were my favorite. You can tell Molly is loose and enjoying herself. You can feel the breeze and the smells of spring.
Molly the hippy in the mud
We started out with an authentic vintage hippy dress; one that Molly's mother had worn back in the 60s. Too awesome, right?
blow out the candles, buddy
A very happy birthday to my brother Kevin! Kevin is a nerd, and proud of it. In honor of his birthday, I resurrected some old photos and processed the heck out of them in Photoshop for kicks. I love you,...
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!
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.
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.
Molly beautiful: interior vintage wonderfulness
Remember Molly beautiful? It turns out that Molly likes to collect vintage dresses, on top of being rather dazzling. This number was actually her mother's prom dress. How wonderful that she can not only wear it, but really work it!...
A birdhouse where it shouldn't be
I wonder what the bird thinks of this real estate. Too much traffic, I'd say.
Molly beautiful: the veil
I then dragged Leah from SmittenXOXO, and makeup artist Jennifer LaVanaway into the project. Even my mom donated a few of her props--a random set of teacups, linens, and other objects that didn't make it into the final project, but served as inspiration nonetheless.
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.
