Last month, my beautiful friend Autumn and I got together to try our hand at a fitness shoot. We goofed around for the most part, but ended up with some really great shots.
She's in incredible shape and has a high-wattage smile. Add to that a little golden hour magic? Perfection.
We celebrated Hudson's 1st birthday with a New Orleans-style bash, complete with oysters, po'boys and beer from the Dixie Brewing Company.
Hudson may or may not have had yogurt instead. In time, little man, in time.
With a little help from his parents, Hudson made a wish and indulged in a traditional King Cake. So tasty!
I spent my time in Rwanda at markets, with artists and with farmers, and in the Heaven kitchen, side by side with people as they worked. I've always loved photos of hands doing (holding, caring, working, playing), and my project with Heaven gave me a great reason to focus on this strong, active part of the body.
Below, market merchants, a painter, a community organizer, a soap-making wife of a genocide perpetrator, weavers, a wood-worker, Heaven's wide-smiled security guard and auditor, and a handful of children gathering water for their families.
“If you look deeply into the palm of your hand, you will see your parents and all generations of your ancestors. All of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the continuation of each of these people.”
