behind the scenes

Meet Tim - the man behind the lens. This is how he works; effortlessly juggling cameras while kids play at his feet. He's unperturbed by the fact that he's being filmed because his priority is catching the moment. Capturing it in the beautifully composed frame that he's known for.

I've had so many emails from people near and far wanting to have Tim photograph their families. I figure I'd introduce him and let you in on what a shoot is like. As you can tell it's pretty damn enjoyable. It's like inviting an old friend over, sharing food and stories and remaining quite oblivious to the fact that he's got a camera (or two) slung around his neck. Tim has the unique ability to make you forget all together that he's taking photos. That's the mark of a natural photojournalist.

Through a series of photos he tells the story of a family. A day in the life of. Don't you want that story on your wall?

film: a few moments

Daniel has discovered his passion and his art. Twenty minutes of filming, a couple of hours editing and here we have a beautiful peek into the lives of friends...a memento, a keepsake, a reminder of a normal day when their son was small and cheeky.

A glimpse into daily life is so wonderfully intriguing. And really, it's what you want to remember as a parent, don't you think? While birthdays are special and holidays are memory making, it's the days spent at home, in the space where we live, eat, grow and learn that make us who we are. That fuse us as family.

Once again it is the simplicity of normal life that is true beauty. It's that normality that we want to remember. And express gratitude for.

I'm so proud of my filmmaker man...for pursuing his dream. For creating such beauty.

"c'mon" he says

While I rested, they walked. "Exploring," they call it. Che in his very new Mama-knitted vest. Daniel with his new fancy lens and Glidecam. Beautiful autumn bokeh.
