As I’ve said, I only take portraits of people I love and respect; they always come out well.

I love Maria immensely and respect her as well. Our marriage is built on respect and support.

She loves writing for her blog and has become a skilled and accomplished writer. When she is writing on the blog, she sits in her writing chair by the window—blogging is the only time I see her in it—and is lost in thought. She chooses her words carefully and works meticulously. She cares a great deal about her blog and the words she uses.

I love the “Blogger” series; it captures a part of her that only the dogs and I see but that I always want to share.
