for no reason other than love

Teri — Wed, 05 May 2010 22:15:35 +0000

as a collective society, i don’t believe we take enough time to appreciate and honor the love that exists in our lives. we are too busy and too distracted with work, technology, and things; but that is all nonsense. the distractions fail to compare to what is really most important: love, in all its capacities and forms. making these photographs, even for someone else, gave me a reason at the end of the day to squeeze my husband a little tighter and to see him more clearly. take time out today to hang on to the ones you love – with your arms and eyes wide open.

this is my friend robyn with her boyfriend, chris. robyn is an exceptional person, role model, and friend. if only there were more people like her, the world would be a lighter, brighter, gentler, wiser, more honest, kind, and loving place.

sugar crush sweets!

if there was a contest for the world’s biggest sweet tooth, i think i would have a chance at winning… so, when Cathleen of Sugar Crush Sweets contacted me to photograph her cookies and cakes for her new baking business venture, i was all for it!

i feel like i should pick my favorites, so i’d have to say it’s a tie between her Fudgy Nut Chunks (chewy, dark chocolately goodness) and her signature cookie, Crush Crescents (a family recipe that dates back to the mid-1800s). but.. i also have to mention the Carrot Cake, the most deliciously moist cake i’ve ever had. i’m lying if i didn’t admit that my husband and i devoured the entire box of sweets she sent home with me (fit for a party) in 3 days.

Sugar Crush Sweets is based in Los Angeles, but ships anywhere in the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii). if you are planning a party, a business meeting, or looking for a unique gift idea, contact Sugar Crush Sweets.. she’s awesome!

detroit art

I shot these images for my friend Luke Emeott back in September.. it’s pretty great to have such talented, inspiring friends. These posters are 16″x16″ and are each screen printed by Luke using materials and paper from Michigan. You can read more about this project here on his blog. Be sure to peruse around, as there’s a lot of great art and more posts about his Detroit art posters.

If you are in the Detroit area and want to purchase an original screen printed poster, they are (as far as I know) still available at Bureau of Urban Living near Wayne State. If you aren’t in the Detroit area, you can email me with interest and I can get you in touch with him to purchase one.

yoga + beach = beautiful (continued)

Our first shoot took place north of Malibu and while it was a beautiful area with amazing rocks, the sky was dark and overcast. I knew I wanted to re-shoot on a day with a visible sunset in order to get a shot like this:

A couple more favorites:

This is Amanda who teaches yoga and spinning at YAS in Venice, CA. Check out her classes if you live in the area!
