It's Great to be Eight!

Last Saturday I had the privilege of taking photos of this cute mom and her son. The photos were to celebrate his eight birthday, a very fun and important age. We had a great time and I loved seeing the special relationship that these two share. 

Photo Journalism / Lifestyle Shoot: Crochet

My grandma is seriously one of the most talented people that I have ever met. She whips out afghans for both high school grads and babies in less time than it would take me to do a single row. She has the goal of making a full-sized afghan for each of her grandchildren by the time they graduate, and thus far has not missed one, she is about half-way through the 18 grandchildren. Crocheting is a big part of her life and so I wanted to capture her process from start to finish, including the enjoyment that her grandchildren and great-grandchildren receive from her blankets. My daughter seriously doesn't put her blanket down, it is her source of comfort. I loved this session because it involved my grandma, but I also loved it because it was all about capturing ordinary moments and hobbies.
