the extraordinary in everyday life

If I could I'd work without regard to real life obligations, my spirit joyful for being able to show what I see but without your collaboration and investment I could share this with no one. You my clients make it real. You allow me into your hearts and minds and the soul of your family, an honored guest at the banquet of your life and I am beyond grateful.

I try to always reflect this gratitude in what I do. For those that read my blog or follow my work you know that I am short on words often times borrowing the words of others that represent what the portrait I am posting means to me, posting nothing but an image and a simple quote.

Every portrait really tells its story, and because of you and your investment in my business I am able to let my work speak for itself and for your children. These portraits I take of your children will be there in your home when they are grown for you to look back on and see the wonder of childhood, to see the person they were and who they still are, that is an investment worth having made.

Photographing children for me is the essence of pleasure through simplicity, truth meets moment, and magic. As they live it, I get to see again and again the extraordinary in everyday life, in portraits painted by light using my camera to capture childhood as it happens™

Each portrait is a waking dream of the rising and falling of laughter and butterflies in the garden and whispers of sunbeams through rustling trees of holding hands and best friends walking away with bare feet in beach sand and wishes blown through dandelions.

Whenever you trust me to shoot, share or store a moment as rare and precious as these. I truly thank you - the best way I can with images that reflect your children who they are in that moment.

More


As the year draws to a close, I wanted to thank each and every one of you. I am so thankful to have a job I love and to share beautiful moments with you. To create cherished memories that you can hang on your wall is a blessing to me and fills my heart.

I also want to take this moment to tell you to want more this Christmas season.

More love, more laughter, more time with the people you love. Breath it all in and cherish every minute – even those temper tantrums and difficult moments if we did not have those how would we ever know how blessed we really are!

It all goes by so quickly, open your eyes look around and see how much MORE you really have.

Love to you & your family,

claire

A day late


I just wanted to take the time to acknowledge a bittersweet birthday a day late - and for that I apologize.

I should have posted this and called her momma yesterday but I did not have a chance – and I hope you will forgive me for that and know that Tessa Grace and her family was on my mind.

My sister found these shoes at a thrift store for me the other day and sweet Tessa was the one I thought of when I saw them. Happy Birthday sweet girl you are missed and this picture is for you!

Tessa Grace is the daughter of a dear friend that was born still – she would have been 5 yesterday. She, and another friends daughter are the reason I volunteer for NILMDTS, which has changed me profoundly.

I hope you will all consider supporting this wonderful charity in any way your family can.

With a little help from my friends


Oh my goodness I here I go again.


Bee Bee Mod’s month of giving!


More goodness…which translates into more giving…because well, it feels good.


I made a friend several months ago on flickr – a real sweetheart named Jen. Who happens to be the writer of a blog called “pass it on” as in "pass it on to others". She is one of the most talented, giving people I have had the pleasure of never meeting! :)


So in the spirit of her blog I am posting about her blog on my blog so maybe more people can be helped and more people can have a happier heart.


(yes I really am that sappy!)


This month, she will donate 50% of all her sales – she has two shops with adorable items they can be found
