nancy neil

it is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. if that is so, then celebrated photographer nancy neil has eyes that possess the ability to behold beauty in anything and everything. 

nancy spends a lot of time viewing life through a lens. it is through her lens that the most ordinary or simple of objects become art. nancy captures intimate moments with a quiet, tender reverence, conveys an organic tone and paints with light like the dutch masters. she is an artist in every sense, styling her shoots like a seasoned editor. nancy is relaxed and efficient, often holding her camera at her waist to catch fleetingly precious moments with babies and toddlers when they don't think she is "looking."

one afternoon, two years ago nancy followed my husband, our little girl (then 2) and me around a beautiful carpinteria ranch. here are just a few of the pictures:
