« the beautiful faces of mom 2.0 »
Jenny Lawson being crowned "Czar of Nothingness" by the Mayor of Martindale, Texas, as Allison Cznarnecki, Rachael Herrscher and Jyl Johnson Pattee look on.
After quite the exciting weekend spending time with some great folks at the Mom 2.0 Summit, things should be able to settle back into some semblance of a routine. I had a great time at the conference, which I wrote about at some length here, here, here, and here; but the best part of the conference for me was getting the chance to photograph some of my favourite faces around the web.
Here are some of them:
The breathtaking (in so many beautiful ways) Leah.
Heather. She makes me laugh and laugh.
Loralee. Her different: she is a classically-trained opera singer. How cool is that?
Alice. The word that comes to mind most when I think of her is "enchanting." Seriously lovely person.
Mir. Her smile positively lights up rooms.
Rachel. Those eyes, man. Those eyes.
Imelda. Just being in her presence makes you feel calm.
Susan. Whenever I look at her eyes, I just feel happy. She has the happiest eyes.
Jon. My favourite thing was watching is face as he talked about his family. Beautiful.
I so enjoyed photographing all of them, and there were many more people I wanted to photograph, but didn't get the opportunity to. No matter, our paths will cross again soon.
One more thing: I loved the motto of this year's summit:
What You Do Matters
Because it does, you know.

Karen these are beautiful photos of beautiful people. I am so glad I finally got to meet you for real, in line for lunch on Friday. I hope we will run into each other at many other events in Houston and perhaps we could someday have time to have a real conversation. You work is gorgeous and inspires me as a photographer daily.
Oof. My heart. It hurts to see such beauty. But in a good way. Mir looks fantastic, no? And you added such lovely captions to each of them.
Gorgeous, gorgeous.
It looks as though you make your subjects feel safe.
You have a calm about you that makes your subjects feel at ease and it shows in the images that you capture.
Exquisite Karen. I can just feel your own beauty from behind the lens too.
LOVE that photo of Rachel. Mesmerizing. Fun to meet you!
Those are some lovely, lovely faces indeed.
Beautiful! I wish I could have been there to see everyone in person...
Thank you for the lovely shots! :)
My friend.
thank you.
You honor each of us with the beauty of you and your words and your being.
Thank you.
Karen,
What a complete breath of calm you are. I loved seeing these faces -- I loved seeing them from your lens' point of view. Thank you for sharing your talents and your peaceful way with me (and my green beads).
