I am taking the Nurture your creativity + be bulletproof class from one of my favorite artists, Kal Barteski. It's been awesome! This piece came about from one of the assignments, to define what creativity meant to us. Just added to the shop:
Excited for her future and ready to wring out all the senior year excitement she can, Molly spent a little time with me on a warm, late-summer afternoon sharing a bit of her plans. Have the best year ever, Molly!
Just a sneak peek. Loved this shot of "all the boys!"
The essence of today's family is when you have members coming and going and schedules and school and sports and parents always on top of it all. I've had the honor of shooting this family multiple times now and it's cool to see them growing and changing and branching out while always staying close. Just like families should.
I have a love/hate (mostly hate/hate) relationship with the word "epic." It used to be good. Great, even. EPIC, even. Until a bazillion wedding photographers started describing their latest wedding as epic. Each more EPIC than the last. Then it caught on in mainstream conversation. Sort of like "awesome" in the 80's. Only way more annoying. So recently, my friend asked me to design a birthday invite for her 6-year-old daughter's birthday. Inspired by the rainbow cake, she wanted a rainbow-themed inivite. An EPIC RAINBOW BIRTHDAY! The invite came out super cool, in all the rainbow candy-colored goodness of any 6-year-old's dreams.
Today though, I wanted a grown-up version. No rainbow-brite colors, no perfect placement. A tribute to bad press jobs and low-budget color everywhere. I ended up with this (below) and am really loving it! It's available in my Society6 shop and just makes me super happy. EPIC-LY happy.
