Michelle and the kids | Westport, MA

portraits

When I was in Westport I had a chance to hang out with an old friend and her super cool kids. Michelle and I worked together back in the day at The Back Eddy. If you ever find yourself in Westport, MA definitely go to the Eddy for a margarita on the deck. Amazing sunsets on the river and delicious food. Since then she’s had two gorgeous kids who are way too old now. I seriously can’t believe how time flies.

Besides being an awesome mother Michelle also knits up a storm. I took some photos of some of her work while we waited for Julia and Ethan to get back from school. To see more of her work check out her Etsy page here: Knit Happens. The other half of Knit Happens is our friend Kelly who will be on the blog shortly with her two adorable little ones as well.

This is almost all Kodak Portra 400 with a few digital files thrown in as well.

Ethan wanted to show me some of his toys. These are Legos. When did they become so crazy technical? What happened to all the little people that you stick on one flat piece of green and build multicolored brick buildings? I told him I didn’t believe him. He assured me I was wrong and these most definitely are in fact Legos.

Going on a trip.

I leave in a little less than three hours to go spend a week in the Sierra Madre with a Huichol family who lives in San Pancho. I have been waiting for them to invite me for a long time and now that time has finally come I am a little nervous to say the least. I know I will be in good hands with my girls Selina, Linda, Perla, and Lupita, but I have no idea what to expect. I’m brining three bags of film, my Contax 645, and as a backup my Nikon. Just in case something happens with the Contax I don’t want to be without a camera for the ceremonies. Here are some black and white portraits on film I did a few weeks ago. Some are from the circus rehearsals and some from around town. All processing by Richard Photo Lab in California.

Speechless.

The grand performance was last night and there are no words to describe how proud I am of these kids. They worked so hard the past ten days and performed an unthinkable task in putting on a show with such little time for preparation. They rose to the occasion and then some. I’m leaving for California tomorrow so I haven’t had time to go through all of the photos yet, but here is one of my favorites from backstage with the kids. This is Ali. We have the same birthday.
