So I finally got to meet my darling nephew! My brother, his wife and their 7 month old son Graden live in Singapore which means that their current visit home to Canada marks my first introduction to the CUTEST little boy in the world. He looks like cabbage patch kid. If you don’t believe me…check it out:
In 2010 Gene and I bought a share in a grain co-op that was being hosted by Makaria Farms just outside Duncan. We learned how to plant, grow and harvest grain. At the end of the season we were rewarded with harvests of organic Red Fife, Spring Wheat, and Rye. True Grain Bread, the fabulous organic bakery in Cowichan Bay was kind enough to let us use their gorgeous stone grain mill to grind our grain into flour.

What a great show it was. I feel so fortunate to have connected with all these amazingly talented women photographers for the Exhibit A gallery show.

What a fun project this was! Look at all those fabulous faces. This was a spur of the moment, thrown together in a day project that I just love!

This family was such a joy to shoot. I adore it when love transfers so well onto “film”. The boys were so sweet and full of life! Check out this precious love:
