Bartering Since 2008?!
















































































































































Wow, I think I've been photographing families since 2008! It's a barter--I photograph the families for free and the parents allow me to use their children's images in my artwork. Recently I had the urge to review my images since I had some favorites from some of these photo sessions. I hope I had captured the person's spirit in the photograph. I always tell the families that I'm not a professional photographer so they get the images unedited with no special effects.

Guardian: Reina

Another guardian image that came to me during the guided meditation was Reina. She is queen of the north.

Guardian: Angelina

Pink always reminds me of spring and Japan's season of cherry blossoms/hanami. This image came to me when I was participating in the Artists' League-sponsored guided meditation workshop on Tuesday night, March 20. I asked the guardian for her name and she said Angelina, namesake of my niece!
