You Are Loved, a Collaboration:  Something created by working jointly with another or others.

Chris:  “Baby Cakes, let’s make a music video, will you do the artwork for it?”        Charr:  “Yes, I will snookie pie!”

And so began this music video collaboration with my extraordinary husband Chris Goslow who wrote this beautiful song “You Are Loved”.  It’s on his album of love songs“I Love You”.  Special thanks to Larisa Bryski who brought her extraordinary talents on piano and such beautiful vocals to the song!  It’s a great collaboration all the way around.

And yes, Chris really does call me Baby Cakes and I call him Snookie Pie.  🙂  I joke that if we ever begin a company together we can call it Cake and Pie– even though we don’t bake!  But we sure do cook in our own special way- creatively through music, art and love.   When Chris came to me with the idea of turning this song into a music video using my art as the visual backdrop and I love shooting flowers and making art and time-lapse pieces it seemed like a good fit.  Some of the flowers in the video are local to California and some from as far away as Whistler, British Columbia, Canada.  The time-lapse imagery was captured using my iPad and a favorite app.  I think it’s fascinating when you get an insiders view stroke by stroke of an art piece being created.

To me this song is a true anthem.  An anthem of love and the richness and beauty of who we are.  I think this is such a beautiful reminder of the good in the world I wanted to share it with you.  I hope you know that you too are loved, more than you will ever know.  🙂 You can Watch the Video Here.

As the end of summer nears and we are back to a fall and soon winter schedule I hope you are making the most of your life and embracing the love all around you with family and friends.   There is much to be grateful for.  I am grateful for you and thank you in advance for taking the time to watch this video, listen to the moving words of this song and enjoy the artwork created just for this.  We are both, Chris and I, are eager to share this beautiful collaboration with everyone possible and share the message of heartfelt love.  Please feel free to forward to someone you love and share the message with them as well.

The release of the video happened to coincide with the tragic loss of Robin Williams, to whom the song has been dedicated by Chris Goslow who wrote this beautiful song.

About charr

Charr Crail is a Northern California photographer and artist with an avid passion for creating unique digital imagery. Charr, a full-time freelance photographer, spans the divide between photojournalism and extraordinary art via photography and can trace back her evolution as an photographer/artist from three dominant sources. Her father made his living as a newspaper photographer and as soon as he could, was taking young Charr, then four, on assignments to capture a lifetime of experiences and images. He instilled a sense of adventure and curiosity in her as they would often meander down unknown country roads of the South – just to see and capture what was out there. Soon after, Charr would develop her eye for photography and journalism as “the river that runs through everything she does”. Charr’s mother blessed her daughter with the ability to appreciate art in its various mediums. Further, her mother was able to pass along the joy, satisfaction and excitement one can experience in actively creating something beautiful. It’s no surprise, then, that Charr would become a photojournalist and later a photo editor spanning two decades working for Northern California publications including The Sacramento Bee. Often, her assignments would include community events with a “close to home” theme woven into every image and story she captured. Her photojournalistic experience has therefore been nuanced through everything she produces. She’s also drawn to the wonder of color and the beauty that can be found in the composure of a face and the make-up of the human bodyscape. Charr has won countless awards for masterful pieces including; the Professional Photographers of America LOAN Collection for two consecutive years, WPPI Grand Award and her work has been featured in the Di Rosa Museum in California’s beautiful Napa Wine Region and is also part of the permanent collection. Separately, she instructs digital photography workshops that teach students how to blow out the creativity of their photography in simple methods using programs like Adobe Photoshop and how to market using mobile devices-- Visual Content Creation using Mobile Devices.. Charr lives in Sacramento with her husband Chris and kitties Leeloo and Sadie.
