Hello Wanderers,
I have to be honest. Doing a photo session with an expectant mother for the first time is always a challenge. There is a discovery period of how comfortable she is in physical movement and in posing.
It may take a while to find that comfort level, but once it is reached, there is a whole new level of beauty that can be captured. This beauty lies within a mother who chooses to do something that only the female body can do: bring a new life into this world.
There is a moment of awe when I am able to capture photos that show the beauty in this progression to entering motherhood.

4 Things // Creative Muse
Happy Sunday wanderers. I'm listening to this interview with Austin Kleon on Creative Live. He mentions Elizabeth Gilbert and her idea of genius being more of the Greek concept of the muse. I love this idea of thoughts visiting you if you give them space in your daily practice. He also mentions an interview she did with Tom Waits. Tom would often get great ideas while he was driving. He would look up kind of frustrated and say, "Hey can't you see I'm driving". I'm looking forward to finding this interview.
Listening :Creative Live
Reading : Just wrapped up Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond FearbyElizabeth Gilbert recently - so good.
Adventuring : Mike and I drove from San Francisco to San Diego along the coast earlier this week. We took the time to create some beautiful images and try out new techniques along the way.
Dreaming of : Looking to get some good news for my dad at the doctors this week.
xoxo
Suzanne, Mike and the Wanderers
