This week’s word is “simplicity.” Sometimes we need to stop and notice the beauty in the more simple things in life. I was at Morton Grove Florist ordering a wrist corsage for my daughter for this weekend’s Daddy Daughter Dance when I just paused to notice all of the gorgeous flowers in the cooler case. I decided to buy this one and see if I could do something neat with it for my 52-week project.
Check out some of the great images from last week’s theme, imperfection.
Jes! This is SOOOOO amazing! I literally could *smell* the flower, you made it so vibrant and alive! I love the black background as opposed to something vintage and hazy (which would be the more common processing with a flower). Love love love! Now I want to try it out!
I had this idea about trying to write this whole blog post in skater lingo but then I realized that I don’t know any skater lingo other than the word “dude.” Ha! Therefore I am just going to talk like I normally talk and tell you that these are some highlights from a really fun family session we did right before the holidays. A couple of the images were used on a custom holiday card and once the chaos of the holiday season died down, we finished up by selecting some wall art and gift prints.
You know how sometimes you talk to someone new on the phone and it’s so relaxed and natural that it’s like talking to an old friend? That’s how I felt when the mom of this family called me. I just knew we were going to have a great session.
K, I am glad you found me and I look forward to working with you and your beautiful family in the future!

This week’s word is imperfection. Imperfection is one of the most beautiful parts of growing up. I will always treasure my son’s ranbo.

This week’s word is “inspiration.”
My kids inspire me to be a better person, a better mom, a better role model. It’s hard to remember any decision I have made in the past 9 years that didn’t take them into account. Oh yeah, that’s because there aren’t any. They are in my every thought. Through their own unique personalities and behaviors, my kids inspire me in different ways. My son inspires me to be silly, to be more loving, to forgive. My daughter inspires me to be creative, to think about the needs of others, and to take time to relax.
In keeping with my resolution of trying to use available light, I did not use flash here. I shot this in a challenging lighting situation – dark outside, just an overhead hallway light. I think processing via the CM FIlm Art Presets helped make it look a little more artsy, even with the awkward lighting.

Oh my goodness…I LOVE THIS!!!! Print it…huge.
These two teenage actors were so much fun to work with. I just know that great things are on the horizon for both of them and soon everyone will know their names.
