I'd Rather Be Working



Not sure what it is but I'm not the "Mother's Day" hoopla type. Maybe because it seems like everyday around here is mom's day as my husband falls over backwards to help out with everything. If I told you what he does for us on a daily basis you'd fall over. Or come steal him. So I won't. Lets just say he's domestically involved. So when the art director of the magazine I shoot for told me they moved up the deadline and had to shoot the cover asap, I scheduled it for Sunday. What could be more fun?! Everyone felt bad for me that I had to work so they all pitched in... little did they know I couldn't have been happier and for me it was really celebrating what I love doing with the one's I love the most.


My subject this time was a very handsome 7 year old model named Gage. Great name, amazing kid. He recently lost his two front teeth and we wondered how that would look.. but it turned out amazing. The best part of it was that both my guys helped me with the whole shoot. It's very much a family effort when I shoot at the home studio. Matty acted as client liaison, eating lunch with the model and entertaining him between shots. Mark was my PA for the day, changing back drops and hauling equipment. Having them around was my favorite part. Seriously, what can be better! OK, so maybe I did enjoy Mother's day after all.
