a portrait of my family

My everyday art are my iPhone images and my gallery is my Instagram feed.  I have never pretended to one of those photographers who is sharing my real life all the time, instead I am journaling my feelings which most of the time come out as conceptualized shots that I imagine, plan and shoot.  I am my main subject, my children join in sometimes both because I ask them and sometimes because they ask me, and my dog shows up or my house or ever so occasionally my husband.  But the images I make day in and out aren't screaming to be placed in a frame on the shelf, although actually I would do that.  And when I pull out my big camera to shoot I am never in the shots, it is just my boys, so every once and a while I wish that I had a good family portrait.  Lucky for me I have pretty talented friends all over the country, so when I my dear friend, Bedtime Stories photographer, Audrey Blake Breheney came in town I got just what I had hoped for a beautiful real life family portrait.
