After seeing a photograph by artist Julie Blackmon at a client's house, we've become obsessed. Blackmon, who comes from a large family in Missouri, effortlessly captures the timelessness of family dynamics in her photographic series based on her extensive family of nieces, nephews, and her own children. We love how she explores the fantastic moments of every day living and blends the real with the surreal both in artistic style and subject matter. The oil paint like quality of her photographs made a real impression on us, as well as the inherent comedy that shines through in many of the photos, bringing an instant smile to our faces.
