Liza waiting for Christmas — home photoshoot

A Rainy Christmas, a Hopeful Pause — Then Magic.

The air was thick with winter whispers, rain tapping softly against the window as my daughter waited, her eyes fixed on the sky. She knew — any moment, the rain could turn to snow. This quiet, fleeting anticipation was captured on my cherished Contax 645, its lens framing her patience in timeless black and white. Kodak Tri-X film added grain and depth, turning a simple moment into a story: one of warmth, longing, and the quiet beauty of childhood wonder.
