Just the other week I got a roll of film that I had taken last summer developed - finally. We've had such a mild winter, but now we finally have snow and I'm pouring over these photos as though it will somehow bring that warm sunshine back.





Shot this past Labor Day on fujichrome film on my F100.

Jeff

I love Jeff so much. Every day I feel grateful to have such a wonderful, loving and funny husband.



From my first roll on my new contax 645, can't wait to shoot more!

First Year Bonding

Last semester I worked on a project focusing on the bonding between a mother and baby throughout the first year. I have lots of wonderful outtakes that I will hopefully post another day, but here is the series I turned in. A huge thank you to all of the mothers who let me come spend time with them and their beautiful children.

Congrats!

Congratulations to Kristin and Jason, who won the favorite moments contest! Kristin, I'll be emailing you about which print you'd like for your 16x20!

Oh, those places you'll go...

My little brother really inspired this shoot (just like he inspires a lot of what I do) by his love of planes and travel. Oh Christian, the places you'll go someday.

Paisley: A Birth Story.

Generally I find that birth stories don't need much text - they story is beautiful by itself and doesn't need me blabbering away up here. But I just have to say this: if I look half as glamorous as Lisa did after having my first baby (let alone fourth!) I'll be a very happy woman.

Also, I understand her oldest daughter's joy at finally getting a sister. I have four brothers, and when my mother found out the youngest one was also a boy I was so unhappy I told my parents I would never talk to it. Yes, I was 15 and very immature. Glad I didn't stick to that rash decision, as I love Christian very much.
