If you have never stumbled across the amazing blog Wordless News you must go have a look. It is the brainchild of my good friend and designer Maria Fabrizio and it. is. fabulous. Her talents got the attention of NPR and she now does illustrative work for their program Morning Edition. The good folks at NPR did a feature on Maria a couple of years ago, and they are working on another one. When she called to ask if I would help document her creative process for the feature, I could not wait to get started. Maria + NPR = two of my favorite things.
Clayton :: Portrait
Every time I look at these images, I smile. This session is definitely a favorite and has inspired me to make more imagery that shows the magic of childhood, the whimsy in the everyday. Clayton was the perfect little forest fairy and I'm so grateful that her mom was supportive of the vision I had for her.
