The family portrait is a time-honored tradition of gathering together to capture for perpetuity our unseemly hairstyles, shameful clothing, and deep and abiding awkwardness in front of a camera. Through the magic of photography, we can be humiliated years later as our poor fashion choices are immortalized and shared through the ages.

The Figments project is a project that was on my wishlist for a long time. It’s a story about one room through different time periods and with different residents. For this project, I started building a set in my studio based around a room with a window – inspired by the window Vermeer used in his paintings.

Portrait photography is the cornerstone work of many photographers. If you're starting in this genre, here are nine tips to keep in mind as you strive to elevate the quality of your work.

Perhaps if you follow this blog, or have come here via Pinterest like some 680,000 of you (seriously, there were 15,000+ visits last month?!), you have noticed that I have not posted in over a year and wondered what's up?? I mentioned in an earlier post that maintaining our school blogs became less encouraged at one point, so I sort of slowed down and was mostly posting within our school's class pages for parents to see. Then, during the last school year, my family made the decision to move to a new state, and I suppose I just started to focus on wrapping up nine glorious years at Calvert School and I stopped blogging altogether. Last June, I moved south and this year I have been staying home part time with my son and actually making some art of my own (I paint pet portraits! See below :)). I miss teaching so very much, and I still visit this blog every month or two to approve/publish comments and reply to them. I am happy and humbled that so many people are inspired by my lessons and my students' work, and it is so cool to still feel connected in some way to the Art Education world through comments and questions from other teachers! I hope to one day find a new school home and continue to do what I know I do best- teach ART! - and then you might see me pick up here again too!
