It’s hard to say exactly what we look for when selecting images to feature here on the blog and on our Instagram but mostly we are looking for THAT FEELING. You know, that feeling that pulls you in and requires you to stare or cry or laugh your ass off, or simply stop and acknowledge the power of a photograph. Whether it’s an image of the chubbiest cheeks you ever did see and it forces you to dwell on the fact that childhood is quick and fleeting; or whether it is an image of two people so deeply in love that you suddenly believe that there is someone for everyone; or whether it is a simple family portrait that reminds you that plain and ordinary can be exquisite. A photograph is the best way that we know how to make people stop and FEEL something.

Here are just a few of our favorites this week. Please be certain to scroll to the bottom of this post to see who we selected as one of our Unraveled Artists of the Year. Congrats to all of the artists below!
