When Marni called and talked to me about the idea of a family session straight out of the '50's, I didn't hesitate. This was somewhat out of the box for me, at least in terms of processing, but I felt it was appropriate for these images and the look we were going for.  Their Christmas cards were so darling, and I loved the vibe from that evening!

I've claimed for years now that I was meant to live in the 1950's... shooting this era made me believe it even more!

We hope your Halloween is a profitable one (at least in terms of sugar).
We're gearing up for a big huge candy-detox at our house!

Once there was a girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.

And when she was good, she was very, very good.
And when she was bad, she was horrid.

Oh I feel your pain. Brynn was/is just like that. But I LOVE this photo. And the poem. Hang in there mama. She'll likely grow out of this craziness. ;)
