A D.I.Y. Family for Friday

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a great week.


I thought I'd share some pics from a story I shot for Anthology magazine (issue 6). Heather, along with homeowner Mike, did the styling. It was one of the nicest shoots ever. Mike, Ann and their kids, Kaya and Zane, were all so easy to work with.


The "life" lightbox was inspired by the same image, as a poster, from the old 70's show "Three's Company". I love that!


Mike's studio in the back yard. He made the cushions, by the way. Crafty guy.

Kaya and her mom, Ann, made the sweet little mobile. 

This family is all shades of talented. They basically built their home, and have a great eye for putting together antiques, family heirlooms, and their own handmade creations. For the full story (and more pics), check out the new issue of Anthology (the entire issue is fantastic!).


Back soon!

    Hope you are well Janis.

    What an interesting job you have with glimpses into people's lives - I am super nosey! Always peeping through people's windows having a little look at their front rooms when I am out walking the dog :-)
