After a year long sabbatical from client work, I took a couple of motherhood sessions this fall. They were glorious. I remembered how much I love working with mothers and their kids, but I also felt a strange unease. Something has shifted and I no longer want to shoot with the formula that I think plagues commercial family photography in central Alberta. I can see the pattern, but I do not yet have clarity on how to change it.
I love this session. I love this family. And I feel an absence of something that hasn’t fully taken shape in my mind, an entantiodromia sneaking its way into the foreground of consciousness. Come sweet slithering friend – take shape and show me who you are.
Until then, here are some recent pictures of a beautiful family.
