Now that our yard is raked and our little boy’s Halloween candy has mysteriously disappeared, we are officially ready and excited for winter! It feels really wonderful to have wrapped up our “regular season” weddings, to be getting caught up with all of our office work, and to be shooting lots of family sessions just in time for seasonal greetings!  Each weekend during the month of November, I am sharing a little eye candy to help you get inspired for your annual holiday photos + card! (See last week’s edition here.) As an aside, we heart Minted cards, because they showcase some of the most talented independent designers around–and so we have partnered with them to create a special stationery shop just for our clients! Also, we still have space for a few portrait sessions this month–please book before 11/20 to ensure that you’ll have your photos in time for Christmas!

I recently had a wonderful opportunity to do some personal work for my friend Nicole, to help her create an art image for her theater company’s upcoming exhibition & benefit.  Nicole had a great vision of what she wanted in the shoot—a series of images inspired by the ballet Giselle, that conveyed her role as a wife and (radiantly) pregnant mother, the innate power of a woman’s body, her strength as a dancer: all crushing the stereotypes of domesticity.  I loved creating these images with her; this project nudged me out of my comfort zone and stretched me a bit, which I believe is vital for photographers of all skills and styles!  Plus, sharing some of this set is the perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend….Hugs and high fives to all the mamas out there.  Your tireless love, strength, and wisdom shapes lives and changes the world. Truly.
