I have been thinking  lately about connections, and how it is connections that give us, and bring things to life. Connections between hearts, between  minds - really, how often is a thought a completely solitary creation, how often is though not influenced by others. Connections between people drive innovation and hopefully compassion.

Of course, there is connection to faith, nature and animals, but how long do you want this blog post to be? 

At one point in my photographic path, I was photographing nature, and even objects, it was light that inspired me, but it wasn't quite what I was driven towards - I felt there was more. It wasn't until about five years ago that I was able to put a name to a huge part of what inspires and drives me creatively and professionally - and it's connections.

This last week, after a little photographic break, I got back to shooting portraits. What a fabulous week I had. I met the nicest people, and re-connected with some that I have been photographing for years.  I walked away from my week inspired and motivated - full of ideas and joy.

I truly work with some beautiful radiant people. Thank you.

The week kicked off with the gorgeous Reese and her absolutely fabulous parents.

This, I am 150% sure is  a new favorite - there are many cute ones from the session, but I like the way this one stands on its own. She is stunning, and draws me in.
