You know when you meet someone and you feel like you have known them for years? That's how I felt with this family.
During this session I was inspired by their connection, the light of the evening and the fall field. And I love what the images captured.

Over the next couple of weeks I hope to catch up on my blogging from my fall sessions. Starting with the lovely family of Jennifer Swenson, a local fellow photographer that I am lucky to call a friend :). One thing is for sure. The light this evening was a perfect fit for their family. Warm and magical.

I love photography and storytelling and documenting and being held in a moment. But what I love more, WITH ALL OF MY HEART, is being a mom. Anyone who has known me for forever will attest to the fact that it changed me (right Jod ;)). It softened me, made me slow down and taught me more than I could have ever ever dreamed.
What I have thought about over the past year - and with photographing families - is the power of a mother's love. Unconditional, authentic, pure love that, I believe, can truly change the world. One child at a time.
So, naturally, photographing moms and their children completely makes my heart sing.
Now, THE SERIES. I have been wanting to pull together a story, or what I would like to call series. Linking lives and humanity together in some way. In some way, with some thing, I am passionate about. And here I am. Over the next year, once a month, I will be scheduling one day just for this project.
And being the dreamer I am, I hope at the end of the year I can share a Legacy Book of the love shared between Moms and their children. And while I am at it, maybe a gallery show too :).
Have meaningful portraits with your child and become a part of this lovely series. Call or email to reserve your spot for the first January session. Thursday, January 26 - 10am - 3pm, in the studio.
