Faster Than Light

By Elizabeth Pettey, Digital Photo Editor Leave a Comment

We all have instances as parents where we become acutely aware of the speed with which our children are growing. Flashes in the day where we catch a glimpse of our little ones not in the way they are but people they will soon become.

For me, photography has always been a way to capture subjects in a way that helps them be seen as they are. Ironically, these portraits of my 9 and 11 year old started out with the same goal but looking at the faces of my children in these photographs brings into stark relief the young adults they are becoming all too quickly. -Hayley

“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” – Bill Bryson

Featurekins // HANBI, an Australian Children’s Brand

By Gina Munsey, Senior Editor 1 Comment

A well-executed neutral palette has the ability to stand out in a big, big way. We love how the (brand–new!) Australian clothing company Hanbi has embraced neutral tones in their Spring/Summer line (equivalent to Fall/Winter for those of us north of the equator).

While Hanbi clothes are designed for children’s movement and active play, the grown-up palette gives them a sophisticated edge that’s really fantastic. We’re definitely fans. Plus, what’s not to love about a brand named after such an adorable pup?
