Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

The Big Picture put together a beautiful collection of photographs in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. It's so tragic that children should be born into this world only to be fighting for their lives almost as soon as they arrive.

In the U.S., over 12,000 children under the age of 21 are diagnosed with cancer every year, approximately 3,000 of them will not survive the disease. A diagnosis can turn the lives of a family upside down - days suddenly filled with alternating moments of courage, frustration, boredom, anxiety and pain. The objective of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is to put a spotlight on the types of cancer that largely affect children, survivorship issues, and - importantly - to help raise funds for research groups working towards cures.

Octo-cyclops

Some inspiration from my lunch break.

Pair Tees Photoshoot

Here are a few images from our shoot on Sunday. Laura (the baby) was great - she barely cried, she adapted to us very quickly, she was expressive...She was unfortunately a little smaller than our smallest t-shirt, but she still manages to make the shirts look pretty cute! We really appreciate Laura and her mom opening up their home to us and subjecting themselves to the camera.

Double-faced

I'm still trying to figure out how to photograph the various jewelry pieces. We were just fooling around, but I think I might actually like to photograph women in front of their mirrors.

This necklace uses a druzy geode. I like that it's double-sided. Rock-side. Pretty crystal-side!
