Talk about being behind! I just wrapped up an amazing fall season and I’m finally able to sit down and blog a bunch of back sessions. Plus, Christmas cards should be out soon so I can share images from those fall sessions without spoiling anything. Anywho, back to catching up. This share isn’t a client session...
My kids have been on me all summer what going to the beach. Weirdly enough, we are only like like 2 hours from the nearest “shore” but always preferred to head south to the OBX for our beach fixes. This year however we were a little late on the draw and didn’t end up finding...
Never have I seen such glee and persistence than when it comes to Myra and puddles! A few nights ago we had a nice long hard rain (way overdue!) and it filled up two pockets at the edge where the new asphalt met the old asphalt. With the humidity and temperature breaking with the passing...
We have a beautiful lake in our neighborhood that we don’t use often enough despite the 5 minute walk over there. On this particular evening Lia wanted to take pics over there so we decided to change that and go as a family. She and I split off to take some shots on the earthen dam while...
Nothing screams summer than a night of carnival rides and food. We always try to make it to at least one carnival/fair each summer and it’s not hard since it seems that every town and HOA around us throws one! To a momtog (mom photographer for those unfamiliar:) ), carnivals are the perfect place for some...
When we were little we were always outside – rain, snow, sun – didn’t matter. We were always outside getting into something. I’m so happy that as our neighborhood evolves, more and more outdoor kids are moving in and finding their way into my backyard and the backyards of the homes around us. I also...
I firmly believe that there is a “right” photographer out there for everyone. My goal as your photographer is to form a relationship that we can carry far beyond our first session. I’ve said it before that some of my favorite clients are ones that I’ve grown up with. Ones where I’ve seen them go...
I was going though my closet in the office the other day and stumbled upon a bunch of 3.5 in disks that contained all my writing from when I was a teen (I was a prolific poem writer even into college). After laughing that the packrat in me still had these, I realized that I...
I was attracted to photography at a young age. It started with a 110 Le Click camera and lots of my parents money on film and developing. As I grew my dad let me use his Minolta SLR and we’d go out on photo walks through the neighboring park. I’d drag my brother along to...
A long long time ago I had a photography blog and then I had two kids and the poor photography blog fell to the way side. Now the kiddies are a bit older so I think it’s time to resurrect this ole girl, give her some new lipstick and see what happens. There are new...
