kitchen light | family documentary

I promise I was coming up the stairs as a quiet houseguest emerging into the early morning light without a camera just to immerse myself in new baby and well rested niece land. We had traveled by plane- landing after their bedtime the night before. It was our first glimpse of their faces in a long time.  As soon as I rounded the stairway corner, I saw the incredible sunlight pouring in and couldn't resit. It's alway that photographer fear of, "what I don't get this chance again?". Mmm- go get the camera. Be engaged, but savor the incredible light pouring in, I kept telling myself. It didn't last long, but I love what came of it. 



the cruise ship balcony

This summer, we embarked on a special family vacation spending days on a cruise ship sailing the scenic Mediterranean Sea.  We were excited to travel in a new way.  Keeping my camera always close by, I quickly learned that one of my cruise highlights was peeking through my stateroom curtains in the early morning or evening  light just to look and see if their was anything photo worthy. I quickly learned that my cruise ship balcony vantage point was amazing. I'd never have these photos if we'd traveled  by land. The water, clouds, sun and land entertained and mesmerized me so easily.  A journey to never forget.
