Frosted windows and baby cheeks, I loved the way the frost wrapped around her like brush strokes, giving the soft and strong impression of wind. I absolutely never tire of the patterns on our window as Nature is truly the greatest artist there is...I shot this using my 105 mm Nikon lens for her portrait and then shot the frosted over window with my 24 mm Sigma lens so that I could capture a larger portion of the window, I edited them in Lightroom and then exported them to Photoshop, added the two images together and brushed out small portions of the frost by her face and some over her shoulder to add to the effect.
I am I longboarding, book loving, word obsessed, detail chaser. I am fueled by coffee, red bull and good hearty belly laughs. On any given day, I look like I was thrown from my closet, in whatever fits. My hair and makeup are an unprepared disaster, forged by that day's urgency. We are often barefoot and dirt covered and the neighbors know me best for misplacing one child as I frantically chase down the other four. I learned to shoot film when I was eighteen and I fell in love with my first SLR, I love to shoot the details and I live for moody and dramatic light. As I continue to learn, my children find new ways to avoid posing, pushing me to learn, and to love self portraiture. Though life with little ones is exhausting and overwhelming, I wouldn�t trade it if I could. I love these moments, they are hard, they are heartbreaking, they are story-worthy, they are my everything.
