Archives 50: E the Gorgeous! | 8/10/14

Speaking of role models, E is another one of mine. She's an incredibly gifted musician who is warm, joyful, and practical and who has an irrepressible, focused drive to make the world a better place. She is absolutely beautiful and is a force to be reckoned with. She was featured in an ad in one of our professional publications and asked me if I could take a few shots for them to choose from. Here are some of my favorites!

Archives 49: Summer Evening with Grandmother | 7/31/14

My grandmother is an incredible role model. She's brilliant, independent, generous, cultured, and classy. She has always told me--through both her words and her example--that I can be whatever I want to be, and that societal expectations and stereotypes are for overcoming, not conforming to. I am incredibly blessed to have her in my life and I hope that I can be even half the role model she has been to others in my life.
