Minimalism and the feeling of wide open seclusion... Being a stay at home mom, is one of the strangest feelings of being completely and utterly alone while trying to hide from the noise, chaos and confusion of a house full of people...I shot this one using my Sigma 24mm lens, to give lots of space and to add to the minimalist feeling, I shot this at night, so I used my Nikon off camera flash to give this the feeling of soft daylight from a side window.
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.
