{the senses}

Hello!! Here are my picks. 
This was so tough, I could have easily chosen so many more. Thanks again for having me!








There is a lot evoking the senses in this photograph.  The boy brushing the horse, give the image an overall calm and soothing vibe, yet the crop and focus on the horse's nose interjects subtle humor, which I love.  I want to reach out and pet the horses smooth, fuzzy nose.

I can feel the warmth of the sunbeams and love the gorgeous rim lighting in this photograph.  The subject is touching his rough and scratchy beard, which is a nice juxtaposition to the softness surrounding him.

There are so many interesting layers to this photo. Taken in complete darkness with only a few flashlights to give us a glimpse into the scene, the lack of light and ability to use sight, the other senses become stronger. The smell of the dirt and mud jumps out at me,I can feel the crispness of the evening air, and the sounds of nature at night.

Being at the beach is such a treat for the senses and it's so beautifully captured here.  The salty smell of the ocean air, the sound of the waves crashing, the sand between the toes and 
how this little explorer is taking it all in.

Music has the power to overwhelm the senses and make us feel a wide variety of emotions simultaneously.  The little girl is playing a violin, and the fact she is playing it in the woods provides an unexpected element that works so well in this photograph. She is free from the distractions of the modern world, and although there is a feeling of solitude, she is able to find companionship in her music.

This is such a fun and artistic photograph.  I love the stark contrast in the light and dark, and the little boy's enthusiasm for experiencing the feel and taste of the rain.

I love the light, leading lines, beautiful colors, and dream-like quality of this photograph.  Playing in water is one of those universals of childhood, so this photo evokes a lot of nostalgia.

I just love this moment the little boy and his dad are sharing.  There is so much warmth and coziness as the little boy is exploring his senses and carefully enjoying a hot beverage.

This is such a happy photograph.  Children are drawn to puddles and when we allow them to experience playing in them fully, the result is pure joy.  Beautifully and authentically captured here.

This little girl is using her sense of touch to be comforted while at the doctors office.  Children are often inseparable from their comfort objects, especially during times of stress or uncertainty. 
As parents, we often love these objects too, as though they are little extensions of our children's love. 
A very special moment captured here.

And the winner is...









Viewing this image is such a sensory experience.  
It's delicate and whimsical, yet also so tangible at the same time.
