this is the day

a somber day.


a day of confronting ghosts from the past.

a day of healing.

new moon yantra

i volunteered to make the yantra for a new moon celebration. it represents kali ma.

"The Goddess Kali Ma is the supreme feminine manifestation of compassion as she frees us from the prison of our own ego." - http://www.goddess-kali-ma.com/

"The Yantra is a geometric symbol existing in the external world as well as a subject to be internalized within human consciousness. Kali is the Hindu Goddess of time, of change. She is the power of action, of the breath and of transformation (kriya-shakti). Kali's essence is Divine Love. Through time, breath and Divine Love all things are accomplished. If we surrender to Her essence, She creates the energy and all is possible. The Kali Yantra, then, contains within it the transformative energy of change." - http://www.towardstillness.com/kali.htm

top models

cheryl wanted to surprise her best friend with an "america's next top model" themed bachelorette party and asked if i would do the honors of being the photographer. i don't think any of us knew what to expect but i would have to say that this is definitely an awesome idea if you're not into the traditional stripper/bar crawl gig. the "tyra mail" was even written like a top secret mission letter. how fun is that?!?!
it was good laughs and great images. thanks ladies for a memorable shoot!































book me today for your Top Model themed shoot!

planet zitron

the zitron family portrait shoot was a blast. they biked a lot this year and thought it'd be fun to send a family portrait of them on their bikes (including their min pin sophie of course) as a holiday greeting postcard. i'm anxious to see which one she uses.

i posted a small fraction of all the cuteness. enjoy!
