This right here is my favorite kind of photography. My friend invited me to come document him and his band recording an album. It was a fun conglomeration of artists, and I was honored to be a part of it. I would love to do more in this style.

Family {Z} - November 2013
This is the third year in a row that these lovely friends of mine have given me the privilege of taking their Christmas card photos. It's so fun to watch their little baby growing into a beautiful little girl! We found the remains of this old umbrella laying in the weeds nearby, and I thought it made a funky prop.
Family {E} - October, 2013
These are my little buggers. We went to a local park and squeezed in a few good shots before it started raining.
Family {C} - October 2013
I photographed this fun family from California for the 2nd time at the Notre Dame / USC game. Their oldest daughter graduated from USC, and the younger daughter is a student at Notre Dame. So every year they have a little family reunion at the game, wherever it's held. It was fun to meet up with them again this year.

2013 Photo Challenge: March
It is time once again for another monthly photography challenge. In case you missed them, these are the previous challenges I have participated in:
January: Song
February: Love
And here we are at March. The theme is "Go Green" - in honor of Ireland, Shamrocks, and ole' Patty; Spring; the Earth/environment; or simply the color green.
When I hear the word "Green," I think of nature - forests, fields, grass, all under a bright blue sky in summer. It is my dream to move my family out of the city and into the country. I long to buy a farm house on a few acres so my children will have space to run and explore. I want to watch the sun rise and set from the living room or the porch. I want to see wild animals roaming. And I want to have neighbors who are farmers.
I have chosen this photo that was taken at one of my favorite places: the Goshen Farmers Market. I have always had a desire to care for the Earth, and as I've grown older I have learned and added more ways of doing so. From recycling, to composting, to gardening, and most recently I have adopted what I like to call the "Farm Diet." I have spent the last year transitioning my family from processed grocery-store food to getting as much food as possible from local farms. Last summer I discovered this wonderful little place. Every other Saturday (or so) they have local musicians come and perform live folk music, and boy oh boy, is it fun! This particular day, as you can see, there were a bunch of guys playing stringed instruments together. It reminds me of some southern front porch from 100 years ago in July. Only this was taken in January. Stuff like this warms my heart and reminds me that there are people in this world who care about more than being trendy and wealthy and having the nicest things. People who are passionate about quality healthy food, and local handcrafted art.
