friends and cameras and hats and mushrooms
Saturday, November 21, 2009 at 02:31PM i know, i am sorry i haven't been posting. i am working hard, working hard to bring new and exciting things to my business. so while i have been shooting and editing and filling client orders i have been a little negligent on posting sessions. i appreciate the kind (and no so kind) emails, and messages on facebook asking me for an update....
so here are a few from the forest. they are random, they are fun and they are special all for different reasons. my children, well they are just special. and you can interpret that anyway you want and on this day in the forest i had other words for them too. i had dreams, visions and the kids were silly, quirky and... they were children, who wanted to go for a hike and jump over massive puddles. two foot deep puddles, not have a mom put silly hats on them and take photos. i get it. i let it go.
and the camera, it is also special. very special. it was given to me by two people in my life that started out as teachers and mentors and have become friends. richard and amy are two artists that have pushed me out of my comfort zone, and continue to do so. their teachings have made changes in my life both personal and photographically and i am thankful. very. and as a side note, these images have been edited using a set of actions that richard and amy of red leaf studios have just created. i just love them, love the feel and richness to the images after using them. they have just launched the new set of actions yesterday and already its a huge hit with professional photographers.
the photograph with the heart shape rock is very special. we collect heart shape rocks in our house. the kids grandma has a large pottery bowl on her kitchen table. it is full of heart shape rocks. so when tim took us to his favorite biking mountain, there it was, at the start of one of the trails. a heart, for our family. it stopped me in my tracks. i love it. i hope no one moves it because the hike was so beautiful i want to go back again and again.
and the berries, i just loved the way the water was hanging off the red berries. after all the rain we have had it was just the calm between storms. we all knew another was coming in a few hours. but this tree. was covered in glistening berries, each berry had a water droplet hanging off of it. beauty.
take care and thank you for your patience while i work hard on my new website and other exciting changes to my business. i am trying to do so in a way that still leaves me time for my family and friends. those important silly people i tried to take christmas portraits of yesterday. xoxo
