A delightful treat.

February 26, 2010

Jon and I had the delightful opportunity to stay with friends – Johnny, Lisa, Bruno and Sunny while we were in England. I didn’t get a full opportunity to photograph them but we did steal a piece of a morning in a park where I could snap some shots. We have been acquainted with Johnny and Lisa for a few years but staying with them gave us the opportunity to get to know this wonderful family a bit better. It was a daily joy and privilege.

Anguish.

My Antagonist

February 21, 2010

This past week, Jon and I joined friends – director/artist Nathan Johnson, designer/stylist Amanda of daMa design,  artist Zach Johnson, movie maker/musician/photographer Ronen V and several others to be a part of the new music video by the musician/artist Katie Chastain. My Antagonist will be on the newest album by Katie. The video was shot in an amazing home on the Cape and I got to sneak in a few shots before the filming began. I normally try not to post too many photos but Katie is breathtaking how could I not?

A couple of Katie getting ready for the shoot.

We found a shower with wonderful light from a small window and lovely green tiles.

I love the way Katie’s eyes seem to tell a story in so many shots.

I didn’t think this room fit with Katie’s look but after seeing this shot, I wish I would have taken more!

Two days of creative energy with friends, can’t wait to do it again!

“And she is going to dance,


dance hungry,


dance full,


dance each cold astonishing moment,


now when she is young


and again when she is old.”

Book Cover!

February 2, 2010

I’ve had photographs published in magazines, album artwork, websites and a book published by the U.N. but Steady Days is my first book cover!

Jamie Martin is one of many professional mothers that I continually admire. She is a work at home mom with three small children, a successful blog and now a best selling book on Motherhood! I’ve had the privilege of  spending time with Jamie, her husband and their three children. In every instance I have walked away feeling that being a intentional, professional parent is possible. My husband and I don’t have children yet but I grabbed up this book as soon as I could; I didn’t need to be a parent or read reviews, I have seen this family and that speaks louder than any 5 star review!

I showed up a bit before Jamie’s book release to snap a few photos.  The release itself was fun, intentional, celebratory and overflowing with joy and peace, just like Jamie. Here’s a few shots.

Thank you Jamie. You trusted me with a treasure and I was honored to do it. Your example of Motherhood is beautiful.
