KODAK MOMENT of the Day

spring has arrived!

My husband looking at the northern light

Taking in the breath-taking view overlooking the Grand Canyon.

You could see on her face, glowing in the molten light of the setting sun, it was a magical moment she will remember forever. A Kodak Moment.

This was a photo taken on a lovely day in London. 
After the wedding ceremony, all the guests went to the party place by busses and we loved how colorful and charismatic all the guests were, especially these!

My son and his little furry friend

I was asked to do a photo shoot for someone who gained access into the UCF physical therapy program.

When it's freezing in South Jersey, we don't need to travel to Disney to have fun.  We go to Lowes for the real fun!  

we visited brighton bathing boxes in melb on a super windy rainy day. however this did not stop me from capturing this moment of my friends walking down the beach. although we suffered from the cold winds, it was worth it for the beautiful film pictures! i was testing out the kodak disposable camera, and the colours turned out so well despite the overhead grey skies

Paris Life 🇫🇷 

I was passing by Notre - Dame de Paris and noticed her. 
She was drawing the сathedral. 
It caught my eye because I like watching people in the flow of inspiration when they create something that comes from their minds. 
I always start wondering what they think during the process, why they do it the way it is, and what inspires them. 
She was so into her drawing. There wasn't anything for her except the penсil, her sketchbook, and the cathedral. 
I took the picture and glanced at Notre - Dame de Paris. 
Historical and majestic building. 
I am happy with this shoot, and I think she feels the same about her drawing :)

Eyes that look into your soul. 

Playing in our backyard because it was 70 in February here in PA 🙂

Mama when I grow up I want to capture life just like you. 

Sisterly Love

This was taken at one of the many Phagwah celebrations (Holi) in Georgetown Guyana. While Holi is steeped in hindi religion, Guyanas version "Phagwah" has extended to be a celebration and coming together of all people, regardless of religion, colour or creed. Its a day of spreading the colours of compassion, love, empathy and joy and is a day I am so incredibly grateful to have experienced. 

Simple wedding prep moments caught on a classic 1980’s Trip-35 35mm camera and Kodak Ektar100

Captured this moment of my daughter painting with watercolors on the back porch afterschool. It’s been warm enough in NC to spend some time outside and we are taking advantage of the later sunsets! 

"Arrête-Moi Si Tu Pux".
(Attrape-moi si tu peux).

My little man is a voracious reader! Any time

he can get his hands on a book, he’ll read! He doesn’t even have to be comfy!!! On this day he stayed home from school because he didn’t feel good. So he curled up in his favorite chair & opened the first of three books he read that day!

A moment caught on a recent family trip to Bristol during lunch in the local public house. 

Promises. 
I will love you forever. The first time I made that promise I was about 16 years old, and I meant it and did it with everything that a first great love entails. There have been loves like this in my life that have not been forever.
Until my little ones arrived. And the promise of eternal love is indisputable and totally inevitable.

fun times family

This photo is from a recent day in the life shoot held at the family’s home. Besides from a couple of family portraits the session was unscripted and spontaneous. I love the home setting as it’s comfortable for the kids and great for capturing beautiful, fun and genuine moments between the family.

Lo Sick kid. Motherhood in the raw. Snuggles and cuddles 

We take moments of our lives to create small talks among ourselves, these smalls can hold so much value.

Happy Easter! 🐣 So grateful to be celebrating our Savior Jesus Christ. I asked Maven why is Jesus important to you?… She said,  “because he gives us everything good.” Couldn’t have said it better! Grateful for ALL THE GOODNESS he brings and is in my life! 

On the holiday trip with my friend in Pattaya,I snap this shot when we spend a lunch time in a restaurant around the beach. I will take a picture of my friend but in that time the wind is so strong I took the photo as she had her bangs checked at exactly that moment. 

Yesterday was one of those mornings. It started with "Margot-saurus Rex" and her housecoat. She wanted to wear her housecoat, and only her housecoat, to school. There never seems to be enough time in the mornings and now with this curve ball of wearing no clothes, I felt anxious that we would be late.

At some point during our mad rush, Margot was in our backyard looking for our cat while our neighbour and her son were calmly walking to school and waving hello. Meanwhile, I was trying to wrangle Margot, encourage Miles w to put on his snow pants, touque, mittens, and make sure our dog didn't race outside to chase our neighbours.

We made it! By 9am everyone was at school and I was driving home in silence.

This year we wanted to include our sweet new puppy for my daughters birthday photoshoot. You can never have too many photos captured of these precious moments!

Capturing beautiful people at social gathering Jackies Hangout.

Twinsisters. Always together, never really apart.
A sea of love and time.

They overwhelm me.

My daughter and I, haveing family time after school. She wanted to play chess, but had to teach me the rules first. 😉

A moment in time from a family session in Naples, Florida. 

A portrait shot on Kodak Portra 800 at the perfect spot with the beautiful sunset light.

It was a lovely early spring day in Sheffield, South Yorkshire amongst my fave British daffodils, and the dress I wore simply matched perfectly with the surroundings🍀💚

Mornin’ The Hague is an ongoing documentary project of mine, photographing daily mornings with my smartphone for more than 10 years. 

In this picture, you are seeing my cat, Mia, the pandemic child which is always around her people ;)

A night away at the Sheraton mirage with our boys.  Here we are right after the storm had hit , the beautiful sunset over the pool and resort. The water was beautiful for a late afternoon swim. 

Wishing moments like these could last a lifetime

Enjoying a relaxing moment on our front porch with wine and a cheese board.

A beautiful memory of a couple who have endured the hard and came out stronger together ❤️ 

I captured my daughter's sweet smile one day around Thanksgiving while she and her brother were running around turkey masks. Shot on Kodak T Max 100 that expired over twenty years ago.

My daughter is dancing here, moving to the rhythm in her own unique way, lost in the moment and oblivious to everything else around her.

Missing my only grandson 8/26/89----04/15/21

This photo is a selfie. The photo was taken immediately after the art reel recording.  
The inscription on the pencil reminds me not to forget the most important thing - that,  I have a clear mind.  In my life, I choose by myself what is valuable and important to me!  Daily practice of my favorite things, that give me strength and confidence, happiness and joy ! Drawing is one of them!

panorama ridge was my first backcountry hike, and i couldn’t contain my smile when i finally summited. despite feeling some slight vertigo at the top, i stood strong, feeling proud of my accomplishment, and embraced the abundance of beauty surrounding me. i’ll never forget this moment.

Street photography in Sicily, Catania,octobre 2022

Snowed in at home for the 6th school day this winter, my youngest sits at my desk to complete his work for the day

It's a cloudy day,

I'm walking by my neighbor's front door and told that the light one on the right side is a stray cat and the dark one is tamed one,

They are still playing together and looking out for each other many years.

kind of lovely

My girlfriend & I were taking photos after her birthday dinner. We were laughing so hard as the wind blew our hair around. Somehow we captured this perfect moment that truly shows how happy we are when we are together. 

The moment i saw our 2 boys sleeping in this tender embrace, i realised i just had to capture it. So i grabbed my iPhone, took the right shot and here's the result.

Zeldzaam moederdagkiekje waarbij iedereen, inclusief ik, het tegelijkertijd kon opbrengen om te poseren nog vóór de taart helemaal op was. #metdefam #kodakmoment

We recently drove 4500km from Canada on an American road trip checking out as many National Parks as possible on spring break.  Arches National Park was the highlight!  Moab area is such a spectacular part of the world.
