The Curated Life


I have enjoyed sharing with you all the highlights of our lives, but recently this has led to a little confusion.  Specifically, the "p" word.  This post is intended to set the record straight---we are not perfect.  
This self portrait was taken after a particularly difficult afternoon.  Let me just say there were tears.  I love being a mother, but it is certainly not without challenge.

I'm also not one to rush for my camera at the first sign of a baby meltdown.  Does anyone?  Photo shoots of Jonah take time and patience and are to be avoided during periods of teething, hunger, and fatigue.  The end result is a collection of photographs of our most calm and joyful times together.

I've been pondering this topic for a few weeks now and Jonah happened to put on a marvelous display in front of an equally chaotic backdrop of lunch (and breakfast) dishes, electronics, and mail cluttering the table.  Jonah was thrilled that I took the time to document this.


a stunning example....


As the curator of this blog, I hope to publish the most compelling photography from our lives together.  And like any responsible curator, this will come in the form of edits and omissions.  

While these collection of photographs don't represent the entirety of our lives, they are some of the beautiful moments I want to remember and share.

Lucky for me, the chaos usually ends with a smile.
