Sarah is quite possibly the friend in my life I have known the longest. My guess is that outside of my sister and cousins, she is the baby my mom lay me down next to first. We have known each other “forever,” [because we are both approaching the age when you stop telling people your age]. And now we are both moms, with our children somewhat close in years as well. I spent an hour with her Monday, the first time in years. It was so nice. Not a lot of explanation or reference needed, just catching up. [see similar explanation of our relationship here]
Growing up, her parents had a study in which hung the most beautiful black and white photographs I’d seen. The were dark and grainy, faces shot in shadow, highlights just right. Before I decided this would become my life, I knew it was how I wanted to shoot. When I entered their home on Monday, my first stop was to walk down the hall and study each one. Still lovely as ever, timeless, beautiful.
It made me very happy to photograph Sarah’s beautiful baby girl and to try to meet those the standards those images set so long ago. I am not sure that I was able to, but that’s what I’ll keep working towards and keep hoping for. So here is one…
wonderful work, this one is too cute.
