I met Eve when she interviewed me for the newspaper shortly after opening the yarn shop (four years ago?). I remember enjoying her quick wit and dry sense of humor.
Since then our paths have crossed at least weekly as we frequent some of the same spots in the town we both call home. Despite that fact, I don’t know her well. One thing I’m confirming through this exercise is that no one is ordinary, but Eve might fall a little farther outside the lines than the rest of us—and I think she likes it that way. I know that she is a writer of fiction and non-fiction alike and that she is interested in human nature. Her love of all things equestrian comes through during most conversations and she has an aura of mystery about her. She is the mother of a grown son and the beautiful pony in this photo and some dogs too. She is at once sophisticated and silly and offbeat, and I am sure that discovering more about Eve will be compelling, as everything I know so far certainly is!
You can see the first post in the series here and the full list here. Thanks for reading.

Your portraits and your descriptions match so well. It makes me curious about your process as an artist. Does one influence the other? Or, is it because you are so good at seeing people that they both come together naturally? This photo is just cool! (sorry for the retro term, but I can’t think of a better word to capture it)
I love how lives seem to cross so perfectly. I truly believe that all the people in my life have come into it for one specific reason or another. Eve seems like one of those people to you. Have a lovely day, friend.
Really wonderful tribute to women, mothers and friends, Amy!
amy i love how it looks like the horse and eve are sharing this huge energy that unites them and it’s so big and vibrant that it’s pulsing through their surroundings.
Wicked, wicked photo. This series is inspirational in so many ways.
Okay…first off, this portrait is amazing! Wonderful use of a lensbaby {is that a lensbaby or did you process it to make it look like one?} Anyway, wonderful…and you know I love this series!
