Carly, my elfin muse

I've been working on this goddess series and this is one of my favorites. Look at this little elf. She reminds me of a young Betty Page.

New Baby

What a beautiful family. I miss having a baby sometimes. Not that I really want another one, but when I get to see these little babies and smell them and kiss them I really miss when my kids were so little. Look at the tiny little feet.

My daughter the Haute Couture Model

Look at my 11 year old. I can't believe it! I had a model set up for this shoot and she cancelled at the last minute so my daughter stepped up. It was so strange seeing this little girl trying to look adult. Scary. I got the idea for this shoot from a website I saw and the designer made everything out of recycled stuff he found. This dress was made from window screening, tulle and many other little things I found.

Another beautiful woman on my street.

A wig, a mask and some crazy deep thoughts.

I've had these ideas floating around my head for some time. I'm not really sure where they came from, they appeared in my head on one of my daily runs. But I was thinking about how we evolve as people and human beings. We are birthed, then we grow and mature, and then when we hit our middle ages, yes I am there, we are re-birthed in a way. I guess if you take the time to do the work on yourself, then you are. We are free once again from the daily hauntings of who and what we are and what we are doing here. The other part of the shoot I was thinking about how tightly we keep ourselves wrapped in our own little secrets. That's where these were inspired from. And a big thanks to my model and friend Monica who will do any crazy idea that pops into my skull. Thanks girl.
