I finally have a chance to give Michelle of Marye Street Studio images for her own pendants. I have been working with Michelle for a couple of years now and myself and my customers just LOVE her work. She is the designer of these gorgeous sterling silver glass pendants. Each pendant is handmade with and image, quote, decorative paper, or little tiny keepsake. A little like a modern locket. She sells these pendants ready made with papers and quotes and things, or custom with images or whatever else you may like. I will add an image of my personal one to the end of this post, and for those that do not know this, I sell them myself as well.
Now onto the session. WHAT A SESSION! These two kids were so awesome. They listened like seasoned pros, perfect eye contact, skin, hair, pose, etc. And then you add in a splash of simple boyhood love for nature, and a teenaged girl’s young elegance and you have one happy photographer that could have worked with them for hours. We were having fun and they were just so easy :). Once you scroll down you will see another image of feet. By now you are probably wondering if I have a foot fetish. Nope, not quite. Feet are weird (lol). But kid’s feet are not. I think they speak volumes. Now you really think I am odd right? Kids feet have so much character, especially the dirt and stain littered ones. They tell me that kid runs around enjoying the textures under his toes, feeling the cold prickle of the grass, or the rough tickle of the pavement rocks. There is a world to be discovered under foot. I was a barefoot kid, my kids are barefoot kids (it took 3 kids to get my hubby to see that) but we are. But as a barefoot kid, I appreciate those that discover the world beneath their feet. And love to document that phase of childhood for the parents of those children. It is part of them, their character and their world around them.
And as you can see the owner of these dirty traveled toes that his hands and mind are also discoverers. The catepiller found a dear friend for a couple hours. He traveled by large leaf where ever we went and was very well inspected and taken care of. Unfortunately we lost him at the end of the session. We left him waiting for us at a railroad tie on his leaf while we trucked through the field. And by the time we got back, he had headed off to find a new home. Next year when we go back he will probably be fluttering from flower to flower in his new body.
