Mom 2.0, Defining a Movement

'

Images courtesy of Shutter Sisters

The amazing Shutter Sisters is partnering with the Mom 2.0 Summit to host our first gallery show at the FotoFest in Houston! I've never had my work displayed in an exhibition, and it's especially exciting and humbling to be included with such great company. Tracey, and the girls, and everyone in the Shutter Sisters community has been putting their heart and soul into this site for years. So it's truly inspiring to see the fruit of all this hard work displayed in tangible frames and hanging on actual walls. As Tracey put it, "This is who we are. This is our life. And it is beautiful and heartbreaking and exuberant and really really important!" 

What's even more exciting is that all the art from the exhibit will be auctioned off, with the proceeds going to Haiti. I can hardly wait to see it in person! Even already ordered my 60s dress for the Mad Men party. Is anyone else going? If so, I'd love to see you!

Here's one of the images from the gallery. I haven't posted the rest yet. But what a sweet moment. And those curls...omg.

For more loveliness, check out this video made by one of my favorite authors, Katherine Center. What a way with words.
