Photo Session at Fr. Sauer Academy

Bowerbird Photography January 3, 2019

Spending a day with these 6-8 graders and their teachers was like getting inoculated with hope. Fr. Sauer Academy is a new middle school that recently opened on the SI campus, that's offering a world class education to low-income students, tuition free. We spent the entire day with them and were blown away by the rigor of the classes, but also the heart. Class time was dedicated for talking through their real life personal problems with their peers and teachers and figure out solutions. Incredible doesn't begin to describe it.

It's not just that we love working with organizations to communicate their brand - we inevitably fall in love with them in the process. This is the emotion that our pictures show, and that statistics always seem to fail at. These photos are real lived moments. These captured memories go to the heart of telling an organization's core values.

Photo Diary // Traveling in Australia with Juni + Wild

Bowerbird Photography December 30, 2018

2018 was a year of adventure for our family. Juni started preschool, Wild started walking. The kids hop-scotched through Asia with us, collecting six stamps in their passport. Our last stop was Australia, where we had more photo shoots with feminist filmmakers, and an exhibition of our photographs in Brisbane. It was an exciting moment to enjoy the fruits of our labors. With over six weeks of travel this year, the kids had a lot of time together and became seasoned travelers.

By far the most rewarding part of the year was watching Juni + Wild fall in love with each other and learn to play together. One of our biggest hopes as parents is that our kids will be best friends. It happened in a big way this year, and we couldn’t be more happy for them.

2019: bring on more love, more hugs, not only between siblings, but for all humans, all animals and our beautiful planet earth. Happy New Year, loves!
