Every woman should have a pictures of herself that makes her heart sing. I truly believe that. But most of us don’t have one. That’s one of the reasons I love doing head shots. I LOVE the reaction when I show a client the back of my camera (which is controversial but I do it …

This year I’ve teamed up with 19 fabulously talented photographers in a project called Fifty-Two Fridays. Each week we have a theme and our challenge is to post an image that best represents that theme. We are more than half-way through the year and I continue to be inspired and pushed creatively by my fellow …

I love photographing in clients’ homes. I actually prefer it over shooting in a field or at a park or in an alley somewhere. Wanna know why? Because it’s personal and unique and comfortable. Nobody else will have the same location in their photographs. For most of us, home is one of our favorite spots. …
To read more about this project and how it came to be take a look at my AUGUST POST. I’ve been lucky to have met so many incredibly talented and wonderful photographers during this journey who share the same desire to capture their own families in a real and beautiful way. I’m teaming up with …

Coming Tuesday. More of this adorable little guy… Happy Sunday!
This week’s theme almost didn’t happen. As the sun was setting, my in-house model was busy doing her Algebra homework, I had a chicken on the grill, and I had no plan.

About two things in particular. I’ve been thinking of the overwhelming number of photographers in the world. In the U.S. …

I just adore repeat clients! The pressure is off. I already know they love my work. They’re totally comfortable with me and don’t think twice when I rearrange the pillows on the couch or move the ottoman to the other side of the room. They know what to expect. And so do I. That’s why …
It’s been another crazy week and I feel like I’m just treading water trying to stay on top of everything. I had grand plans to shoot something yummy and sweet and frosting-topped this week as I just “celebrated” (I question that term as I make my way through this decade) my birthday and had my …

So. My Project 12 is only a Project 4 so far. It should be a Project 9 by now. I’m either way too swamped with work and life, or I can’t get my family in one spot and willing to humor me in front of the camera. I’ll say it’s a lot of both. But …

I come from a creative family. I guess you could say each one of us was born with a need to create. You could argue that my dad, with his PhD in microbiology, was more of a facts guy, but I would argue that he was able to create a beautiful, full, and successful life …

This week’s theme: With a house full of boys, laughter is easy to come by. Especially when you put a huge canoe in a small pool and add a dad that loves to cause trouble. Kudos to my youngest for being the “last man standing”. Next stop, Melanie Pitcher, Memphis, TN Photographer. I can’t …
