WWII Pin Up

Sunday, May 30, 2010

All I can say is wow. Stacey delivers. Collaboration is really about going from imagination to action. Thanks girl!
Regarding the material: as a military wife I strongly believe that the concept of the “pin up girl” is both historically relevant and perhaps has current applications as well. I strive to treat the concept, the historical… value, and women in general, with respect and feel that I achieved that here. This creative effort is in no way intended to disrespect the military, our fallen heroes, or the era from which this concept originated.

Heather

Sunday, May 30, 2010

Heather is a fellow artist who I crossed paths with a lot when I lived in Dayton – she’s wonderfully creative and a super nice person as well! She asked me to photograph her sister and their boys (see previous blog post) but then also to photograph her, along the lines of the Real Women work I do, only on location using some of the art and the building where the Sideshow (a creative collaborative annual art show) was held this Spring. The location = amazing. The light = perfect. The subject = beautiful. The result = inspired.  (Much thanks to Margaret Ottoson whose “eye” installation provided a wicked backdrop for some of these images).

Meet the Kooglers!

Friday, May 28, 2010

Mary Lisa, Jeff, AJ and Danielle are some of the coolest people I know. I’ve been photographing AJ since he was a toddler and now he’s all grown up (cannot believe how fast that happens). Danielle finally has her braces off and man, look at that smile! And Jeff and Mary Lisa are two of the most in love people I know – they are just soooo cute together. I love this family!

Meet the Lamberts

Thursday, May 27, 2010

Any family that comes wearing Keds and Cowboy Boots, motorcycle in tow, without any prompting from me is my kind of family!! This photo session was very cool – but not just because of that. This was one of those moments when I realize how important my job is. The Lamberts are a military family and Rodney is getting ready to deploy in June. And I had the honor, the privilege, to mark this moment in time for them – capturing something tangible that they  – the boys, Kelley, and Rodney, can look to during the months of separation. Yes, I am lucky. I get to record these moments – life, family, love – the ones that matter most. And because I am also a military spouse I understand doubly how important those moments are. Thank you, Rodney. For being willing to serve, away from family. I hope these photographs play some small part in keeping you company until you come safe home.
