Boston

Graduation is such a cool time and I love when I get to be a (small) part of celebrating that. Boston is a huge bike guy, competing on a regular basis, so I knew that we needed to include the bike in a lot of the shots.  After all - it is a part of the family!  Here are a few of our fave's from that day. Enjoy!

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.

Amrit

This is the second time that I have had the pleasure of working with Amrit. I love that he takes his burgeoning career so seriously.  Good luck Amrit - I know you'll go far!

CJ, Tik and Cricket

'Twas the month before Christmas and all through my house, not a portrait was hung and I felt like a louse. My child is 4 and the dogs nigh on 8. If I don't hang one now, it may be too late. Away to my camera I flew like a flash. Ripped off the lens shade and hooked up my flash. My little ones were nestled all close to each other, jostling for position like sisters and brother. When what to my wondering eye did appear? But a heart wrenching portrait of those I hold dear.

Whew!

Grungy Life Art

Mmm...I love this design for Emory's 1 year shots. I love the textures and energy in it. It has been so fun watching you grow this year, little man!
