Evolution

I created a Fine Art piece from one of Jen and Mark's wedding shots for them.  But it never felt done.

I looked at it on and off for quite some time, but I couldn't figure out why it didn't feel done.  It just felt bland. Then today it hit me (of course only a couple of hours before Jen was to come pick up all her prints!) - there was no depth.  It was all very pretty but somehow bland.  Add in some beautiful warmth, texture, stains and it comes alive.  I am in love with this piece now - in fact, it's going up as a display piece because I am so enamored with it! There is something to be said for not rushing the creative process. That is one of the tough things about working to deadlines is that pieces don't always hav a chance to evolve organically.  Today, I am glad for the evolution of this piece.

Sondra

 I so love when a client calls and says "I want to do some super cool edgy shots with some leather and my motorcycle...".  Those words make me so happy! It means that I get to contemplate grungy locations, lots of contrast and come up with something different.  Joy!  Here are the results of our shoot a couple of weeks ago.

Two of my Fave Kids

 I have known James and Emily since they were babies.  Literally.  James was 10 months old when we moved in across the street. So to see them as teenagers sometimes still takes me back a bit. How can they be that old?  How does that happen that time flies so quickly? Wasn't it only yesterday that Em was doing Britney Spears dances on the front porch and James was chasing butterflies? I love our pics from this past fall as it shows the constant evolution of two of my favourite kids - and that I am lucky enough to be a part of their journey.

 

Kyler

Kyler is 6 months old! And just in time for some lovely fall leaves - oh...and an impending storm, just hovering overhead! But we perservered, found a nicely sheltered spot with lots of character and were able to capture some lovely shots. Here's a sneek peek!
