Sixty is sexy!

Happy Mother's Day...

I believe in the compelling power of love. I do not understand it. I believe it to be the most fragrant blossom of all this thorny existence.  -- Theodore Dreiser

Shine...

/SHīn/

 V. 1. To emit light.2. To be bright by reflection of light 3. To distinguish oneself in an activity or a field; excel.  4. To be immediately apparent: Delight shone in her eyes.

Inspired by Sue Bryce, I have combined her excellent posing cues with my love of natural light. The result: consistently finding my client's inner shine in their portraits. I love that!

Carolyn...

Carolyn is lovely and easy to photograph... but what made our brief session extra special was our location. We used the empty rooms of her home as our studio.  Carolyn and her husband are expecting their second son shortly, and they are moving to accommodate their growing family. It was four days before closing, and a chance to say goodbye to the home where it all began.

Faces...

I love when I can have an infant's mom standing just behind me to help generate some expressions... works like a charm.
