the making of a holiday card

Finally!!  It’s two days before Christmas, the cards have all been received and now I can share with you our family holiday card for 2011!  It was a bit of a workout.  The first two minutes were a breeze, the middle 40 were total frustration (gotta love it when photographers kids don’t cooperate) and then...

jinky

Magical.  It’s what comes to mind when you say her name.  Barb Uil, aka Jinky, is a world renowned children’s photographer from “down undah”.  If you are a kids portrait photographer, my hunch is that you are pretty well acquainted with her work.  If you aren’t, then I would encourage you to head on over...

Toni Raper - December 12, 2011 - 3:26 pm

congrats, Barb is the bees knees in childrens portraiture…looks like you are too!!! I just came home from my summer holiday, the sun must have sucked the creativity out of me, I wish I could have had my hands on this before I left x

reprieve

It’s been a hell of a week.  Hurricane Irene wreaked havoc on our yard and left us without power for 4 days.  The first day is the hardest.  No computer, no internet, no lights or hot water.  You are forced into a getting-back-to-basics mind frame.  Early to bed, maybe even catching up on a book...

Oh my word, these are amazing, Stephanie! The blueberry and pear shots are two of my favorites, but they’re all simply incredible. I just adore your work.

Sandra Bludau - September 3, 2011 - 12:08 am

This is really refreshing and inspires me to stop slack’n on my project 365 photos. I have gotten to comfortable snapping an iphone pick when needed. Your words remind me of the up and coming movie with S.J.P. “I don’t know how she does it”.

Sam Tutton - September 2, 2011 - 4:39 pm

I love your work so much!

Sandy Metcalf - September 2, 2011 - 4:23 pm

beth McWilliams - September 2, 2011 - 2:02 pm

beautiful photos as always….
and no power for 4 days. wow, you are a trooper.
but hey, unplugging for a few days, is a good thing for all of us. but i kind of like the idea of it being a choice, not forced upon us due to something like irene. darn irene.

alison eden - September 2, 2011 - 1:39 pm

so incredibly beautiful. i really identify with your works, too, mama. good luck with your game of catch-up.
