My last blog entry was in February 2020 which certainly feels like a life-time ago. I have been busy taking photos and spending A LOT of time with my kids. When lock-down began in March, photographers across the country started taking “porch photos” to document families right outside their homes. The trend was hugely popular and many photographers donated some of their proceeds to local charities. I donated to two organizations: MEND (a hunger relief organization here in NJ) and FLAG, a front-line appreciation group in South Orange/Maplewood NJ.
My porch project photos celebrated families being together during the pandemic. I got to document a variety of milestones-from first birthday drive-by’s to first time riding a bike to the new family dog-and it was cathartic for me to witness people experience joy and love during such a challenging, scary time. I hope you enjoy these selects from my porch project. Stay safe.
