This was the first holiday season that I’ve been totally devoted to making portraits.  Thirty-two portraits in November and December, all of them commissioned as gifts for others.  Cats, dogs, children, grandchildren, mothers, fathers, grandparents, family homes, all of them given so that the things they love can be celebrated and shared with someone else.

I’m forever amazed at how the simple act of sharing can ignite so much love in a relationship. Celebrating love – generates love.  Beautiful.

Valentine’s Day is coming up.  Who’s flame are you gonna fan?
