Book: Jayden

There's nothing better than getting a parcel in the mail. It can pretty much turn any rainy day into a sunny, happy one. And this is especially so when the parcel I receive is a book I've made. After the initial frantic flip through to make sure it is up to my standards, I sit and look more thoroughly at my images in print with a feeling of contentment that is hard to match. As digital photography has increased over the years, the number of photos we get printed has shockingly decreased. I believe this to be tragic. There is nothing more beautiful than a printed image. Even the vibrant image on my 24" iMac doesn't compare. What I also love about the books is that they tell a story, about the individual, the family, their interactions, their spirits. Something that a just single image can rarely do.

Here are some sample pages from Jayden's book...

 

Portrait | The Many Faces Of Lucas Love

It was hard to narrow down photos for this post. This kid was a firecracker! Wonderful, wise, sensitive, intelligent, and so much fun! You couldn't help but laugh and be in the moment around this beautiful soul. Spending a couple hours around Lucas was such a gift, and really reminded me of what is truly important in my life and my day. It's so easy to get caught up in politics and economics and pettiness, when really, we should be taking a lesson from kids. They know the secret.
