SAND & EMBERS

Day One

On the first day of 2016 I spent the day photographing two of my favorite little girls. Over the course of the week I was talking with Michelle, my best friend and the girls mom, about what we wanted to do with this shoot. I’m lucky enough that she lets me do just about anything I want and to try out new ideas on her family. Two days before the shoot I was thinking about blanket forts and imagination, how children don’t let anything inhibit that. So I started looking online for tent tutorials and found a great one here: http://justanotherhangup.blogspot.ca/2013/09/childs-play-tent-tutorial.html?m=1  Fortunately, my cousin is handy with tools and I can sew, so in a day he put the frame together for me and I dug into my stash of fabric and made the outer fabric part. The kids loved it and I can’t wait to try it this spring outdoors.
