Mary Jayne - Head Shots Preview

My lovely sis-in-law lives in NYC, an aspiring actress with so many loves... theater, vintage, visual arts, music, animals... Martin - just to start the list. :) She stands as an inspiration to all of us who would want to make the most of our lives, living with no regrets. Her life is passion, defined. She is a sweetheart and no-doubt beautiful, with a down-to-earth, mothering, loving and warm persona. But she can be oh so feisty, fiery and downright determined when she knows what she wants! Just like her mom, I love watching them when they are in that "state", it's an awesome thing for my passive self to witness that boldness. :)

Most of all, she is not afraid. She is an old-soul that seems to know just where she is going to end up in this life and is navigating with the ease of a competent traveler, soaking up all the beauty and meaning in the ride. I consider myself lucky to have landed in the family where she belongs; she is a wonderful listener and confidante - lucky, since she has been called upon to use those skills with me many a time. :)

She was "home" recently for a short trip, and we took advantage of the blazing heat and sun to grab a few impromptu head shots for her return to the City. We had a blast searching downtown Lancaster for textured nooks and crannies and the little village did not disappoint! Here's a few of my favorites from the first part of her preview.

I love the flag in the background, so American, so New Yorker... it just fit! :)
