 What a beautiful day I had with the McKenna family at the Morris Arboretum last weekend. Owen, the little man, had a ball climbing the trees as his little sister Addy was enjoying being with her mom and dad and eating grass. Thanks for such a lovely afternoon.

 I had the pleasure of photographing EJ, a man who had been laid off after 30 years at his job and is having to start all over again and needed my services of photographing his corporate headshot. EJ, a man who has a 35 year old son who is handicapped and needs to keep working as long as he physically can to hopefully secure a future for his son. A little while into our conversation while photographing we realized the power of the images we were creating together.
We spent time on creating the friendly, corporate, flattering photo that will be posted virtually on Linked In in hopes that someone will see this man's potential and experience. After we accomplished that task the "real" shooting began. A man with the weight of the world on his shoulders but yet so much to offer. Our conversation became inspiring and deep. His words hit home with me on a very powerful and deep core. He spoke of my images and the work that I do and it felt as though he was speaking from my heart. His sensitivity and wisdom left me teary eyed. It's not very often you meet someone that you think could truly be an angel in a physical form. Good Luck EJ and Thank you for everything.

Sit please, Relax, I am the only mother you have: mother of all tribes and races.
Mother of river and tree, who spreads open perfumed petals.

   One of sea, one of sky to birth each wave each day, each night.

  Mother of 19 moons. Teacher of distance touch and inner healing. Mother of your brother the word, your sister music. Their true name is unknown to you, their own child, until they are gone.

  I gave my body to the ravages of rebirth until my blood turned green.

   -A portion of "For Kwan Yin" by Aaren Perry
