I am inspired. I am inspired by the people I get to meet. I am inspired by the places I get to go. Inspired at the way walls come undone and silence can be comforting when surrounded by friends that believe in each other.

Today I am inspired by Cheryl Jacobs and the group of wonderful photographers that I got to spend great times with. CJ, Summer, Stacie, Leiba, and Jen,
you are all such an inspiration to me.

I am especially inspired by the fact that put six individuals in the same place taking turns playing with the same models and you get six completely different interpretations, images, and styles.

Here are a couple of images I had a chance to go over for now. I look forward to going through all the images and sharing more in the future.

This post is a tribute to my elementary school English teacher and to her beautiful and delightful bunch.  Let the images tell the story as words will not suffice.

This little beauty is the kind I would want to take home with me and keep forever. He is so full of laughter and sunshine and life. He is also so lucky to have such wonderful and adoring parents.   He kept me in stitches through the whole session with his bouts of the cutest giggles.  I don’t think it is possible not to smile with your heart while looking at these.

This image fills me up with a bubbly musical happiness. I hope it fills you too.

Presenting….A Piece of Childhood.

You know how the world is all happy and friendly when the sun is out and a pleasant breeze is ruffling through your hair? This family reminded me of just such a day; So easy and pleasant and sunny. Although the day was hot, sticky, and humid our session together was a real treat.
