Personal Blog: Introducing "HUSH", a portrait collection

Hi everyone!

I am introducing my new portrait collection today.  Here are the first few women in the collection, there are more to come.  I call this collection “HUSH”. I wanted a new collection that actually reflected my true innerself.  I really felt like having something quiet, non fashion, non traditional portrait-something that would make me feel happy and at peace when I looked at them.  This collection is about the inner peace that we all have and the connection to the earth that I think we should have. I know, I know…how can this be? Maria, quiet and reserved and at peace-with her attitude and schedule??  Yes, actually, these images represent what I am and what I feel when the lights are gone and no one is around.

Anyway.. I hope you like these and if you want to see more of the collection–they will be coming to my new fine art site which I will be launching in a month or so. Thank you to Caitline, Jamie, Lindsey, Taylor, and Maris for being the first five in this collection and the first five for my launch.  The ladies are all beautiful to me for many reasons, I love them all for who they are.

I love that each lady is holding an item. Each item represents something-a type of charcter strength or weakness.. what do think they mean?
