Photography

Peonies, catalpa, roses, and honeysuckle

Short on words lately, tall on neighborhood walks and taking pictures.

The air smells of honeysuckle

Taking pictures on a Sunday afternoon

I have had the pleasure of taking pictures of this family for over four years now, beginning just days after the youngest girl was born. These girls are so sweet and playful, when I look at these photos I can't help but smile. I'm lucky too because this little one is also in the morning preschool class I teach, so I get to see her twice a week. Photographing people with whom I have developed a relationship is so special to me, and taking pictures of children is my favorite. Through picture taking I feel like I get to know them even a little more. 

Photos from Dolphin Head

These are the last of the photos from our South Carolina visit in December. I've been intending to share these for some time, and even had them all ready in a draft, but for no particular reason I just hadn't published it. So here they are. This was such an interesting place, Dolphin Head, to which I hadn't been. It was a drizzly day but we didn't let that keep us inside. I so like walking about and seeing new things, especially with my camera. Lately I've been sensing it's time to either look at the world around me with a freshness, or take a little jaunt. And since I don't see a little trip happening, I better figure out how to make things that I've seen so many times, look interesting again. There is a skill or mindset to that, I believe.
