I’m currently reading Roots & Sky by Christie Purifoy and before I was an eighth of the way in, I read this and knew I’d chosen well.
“As humans we roam the entire world. We even venture beyond it into space. The whole planet is ours, but the whole planet is not our home. Instead, home is the ground we measure with our own two feet. And home is the place that measures us. Home is the place that names us and the place we, in turn, name. It feeds us, body and soul, and if we are living well, we feed it too. Home is the place we cultivate with our love.”

Ryan – 1983

A couple of weeks ago, we shared some home-grown holiday portraits of Ryan and me with a new idea for 2016 Christmas. The idea is simple: rather than come to the Pixels studio for your family Christmas photos, we’ll come to you. We’ll take them in your den, living room, on your festooned front porch, on your hearth, around your tree with those you love including your pets. The best memories at Christmas are at home, right? So let’s go to yours this year to capture those memories for 2016.
