Captured this little guy working away enjoying some quiet time. It's hard these days to catch any quiet time alone. I wanted to create the softness and magical feel of his peaceful time.

This one had me stomped for a few days. What comes to me when I think of death. I think of friends and family and pets that we have lost. I think of the fear that we have in us and what is happening around us right now. Death to me is this light, at the end of a long dark road. It may feel like the end to those left behind, but it could be the beginning to something beautiful. Something amazing. It is so unknown. How do you intemperate death?

I love rainbows. They always appear after a storm. A symbol of hope, and brighter times are here.

This little sad face.... he wants to see his friends. He sees his neighbors outside and wants to go play. But he can't. It's hard to understand that at 3.

Gosh, I think just this word alone gives me anxiety. I see the aggression and ruin, the hurt and confuse. It makes me think of disaster. No one likes it, when you try to explain your feelings, and the other person makes you feel that much smaller for feeling that way.

When I think of acceptance, I usually think of peace. The willingness to welcome; change, a group, a situation. I threw this in my head a lot. In our current state, I wanted to highlight my acceptance of our new normal. The sudden life changes, I have come to peace with it.... for now. BTW... I shot this complete facing the sun. I do not usually do this as haze drives me nuts. But I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try something new.

I love this portrait so much, so I picked it for my depth and conversion. I deepened those shadows as to take away from the flat look. One of the things I love about a black and white, is how much emotion you can create with shadows. What do you love about black and whites?

His favorite shirt and pants..... they required a capture.

Oh I how I fear window light. It is so much different than controlled studio light. Or being outside where you can still play with your light. Thankfully this was a still life. I do love that shadow it creates.

Boymom here..... what is my everyday life? My heart racing up and down because I have two daredevils in my life. This little guy who thinks he is made of steel and that he is 10 not 3. Chasing, running around to sports, this is motherhood.
