It’s going to snow here today. By the time I leave the cube farm I’ll be fighting through six inches of snow to get back to the wombfruits. I’m not looking forward to it. Okay, that’s a lie. I’m totally looking forward to it. I don’t like driving in snow, but I do LOVE snow. Especially when it comes in the form of lots and lots of it. With that said, however, I am really ready for summer. Short sleeves and flowy dresses. Sandals and red wine on warm, muggy nights. Pick up games of baseball and freeze tag. I’m ready. MORE than ready. And tonight, as I uploaded some frames that DRL shot on our D90 (that is currently for sale! Shameless plug! Buy my camera!), I found this image of Elena…and then I died a little. I’m getting a giant print of this photo made, so the next...
where the wild things are | minneapolis family photography
There is a magic in childhood that is so powerful it exists in many of us far into adulthood. We are the lucky ones. The ones that hold onto the magic of belief. Grip it tightly in our grasps – we hold steadfast to the power of dreaming. Of believing. Of imagination. I’d like you to meet William (as well as his big brother and his momma). In these photographs he is two years old and filled to bursting with wonder. This fall we spent an evening in a sun-filled park. Screeching. Squealing. Laughing. Running. Chasing. We ran for what seemed like hours, but I couldn’t catch him. I was chasing a boy, but the boy wasn’t evading me. He was busy running after fireflies and the last rays of the setting sun. William was adrift in that place that Maurice Sendak wrote about. The place where only things you...
un. deux. trois.
Twelve months (and two days) have passed since Stella’s last birthday, and this year has changed her in such remarkable ways. She is growing into a strong-willed, inquisitive, noisy and cuddly and boisterous and introspective little girl. Three years. It’s been three years since she was born and forever changed my life – and my holiday season. This girl…she’s perfect. She makes me want to pull my hair out and scream while at the same time wanting to scoop her up and snuggle her into infinity. It’s been a blessing being her mom, and I am so honored to watch her grow. Even if it is all too quickly. To Stella, so as to remember exactly right now: The last three years have been some of the best of my life. You are an amazing child. My world would not be the same without you (or your will and zest...
An Evening With My Girls
It’s morning in Mexico – the sun is shining and the humidity is climbing. We’re off to the Crococun Zoo today, and then the beach. The girls will have their first chance to build sandcastles and taste the salty sea air. We’re having a blast, thus far – and I thought I’d share a few images I managed to snap just before dinner last night, as the sun set over Puerto Morelos....
