Domestic

Jannette
July 2007

What you can't tell from this picture is that my friend Jannette is barefoot. Does it get any more domestic than this? Kitchen + Barefoot pregnant woman + Serving coffee = domestic bliss. Gustavo is in the belly along for the ride.

Lazy Summer

Armando & Ashley
July '07

This is one of my all-time favorite picture of Armando and Ashley. I get this overwhelming feeling of safety and trust whenever I see this picture. Armando's crossed arms remind me of someone confident. Of someone standing watch over his most precious commodity. The way Ashley is curled up beside him tells me she knows her father is standing watch.

Baby Blues

Sam
July 2007

The Paul Newman of his generation! I realize that Sam's eyes look pretty good in this picture but, in person, you can easily get lost in them. Not only are his eyes a beautiful shade of ocean blue that makes you wish you could dive into them, BUT the kid is a real charmer too.

Natural Beauty

Maddie at 16

The day this picture was taken, I spent the afternoon with this lovely faerie girl and two of her friends. Maddie's mom and I share the same sentiment -- we each wish that we had been the kind of teenager that Maddie is.

She's not only a beauty but is wise beyond her years. A true old soul. It took me over 30 years to understand the bigger picture of life. At 16, she already gets it. She's brilliant, I tell you.
