Darrah Parker » Slice of Life Photography

join me!

I don’t know about you, but I could use a little “me” time these days. For me, this means picking up my camera more and focusing on what brings me joy, what makes me smile, and what lights my fire. In just a few days, a new group of lovely people from all over the world (including the U.S., Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, New Zealand, Germany, Australia, and more!) will be joining me on a photographic journey. We’ll be digging into our ordinary everyday lives to find the hidden gems. Care to join us? No prior photography experience is required – just a desire to capture the simple beauty in your life. Registration closes Sunday at 5:00 p.m. PST. Click here for details and to register.

Gave this to my parents as Christmas presents – I’m so excited to see their slices of life! I’m no longer living at home, in a different city, and wonder what their life looks like now when they see it through a lens! Thanks for this wonderful class, Darrah.
To everyone else: Go join, it’s lovely and wonderful and inspiring and great and perfect.

“The invitation is to enter eternity, with your child, with everything, into the silence of intimate stillness. To sit and to rock, to be patient and present,
to be quick and compassionate, to soothe the ruffles and cool the brow,
to see without seeking, to witness without ever knowing how or understanding why
light follows darkness and darkness follows light.”
~ Karen Maezen Miller, Momma Zen

that top image took my breath away.

holy snowstorm, batman! (plus give-away winners announced)

Ummm, so it’s been snowing a lot here. Like A LOT a lot. Having lived in snowy places like Chicago and Boston, I would have laughed at this kind of snow, thrown on my winter gear, and carried on with my life. But here in Seattle, we are not equipped for such things. The city basically shuts down at the mere mention of snow.

But this was much more than a mention of snow. It’s basically been snowing since Saturday. I haven’t left the house since Sunday. And let me tell you, five days in a house with a baby loses its charm after oh, say, the second day.

In all honesty, it’s been quite lovely. My hubby has been cooking up a storm, we’ve been hanging in our pj’s most of the week, and Sadie and I have been looking out the window a lot. Even though I’ve been working, it has felt downright vacation-like. We also had dear friends over at the height of “Snowmageddon” and ate, made music, and marveled at our beautiful babies. (You may remember Leo from his newborn photos – can you believe how big he’s gotten? He’s already six months old!)

All in all, I can’t complain. It’s been a good week.

And now for the give-away announement…

Wow. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing in my celebration and spreading the word around about the give-away. I wish I could give all of you photo sessions or a spot in my e-course or AT LEAST a hug. Alas, there can only be two winners. Here they are:

>>> The 30-minute photo session goes to McKenna!
>>> The spot in the Slice of Life Project goes to Kylie!

I will be emailing both of you with details shortly.

Remember, there’s still time to register for the Slice of Life Project. The next session starts February 6 and there are just a few spots left! I hope you’ll join me!
