Earlier this year amongst all the rain, I desperately needed just two hours of rain-free shooting. The thing is, I had a portrait session I needed to get perfect. The Dillon boys, Jake and Brian, were getting ready to present themselves to the worlds of acting and modeling and I needed to get it right. You can’t just show up …
Spring Installment 1 (hopefully there will be a 2nd)
Today, I was planning to blog about something completely different. I think I’ve fallen head over heels in love with spring. It’s shockingly beautiful when you really look at it. This picture of pink trees is the view I get when I turn left onto Mill Plain from my house. Something so completely mundane matched with something so absolutely stunning. I …
A Girl’s Best Friend
Okay, so maybe that’s misleading, this isn’t particularly about diamonds, but it is about jewelry. Also, misleading because we all know we wouldn’t give up our real best friends for all things sparkly, but jewelry really is so wonderful! That being said, I sometimes work with one of my favorite clients, Diana Acuesta, a jewelry designer who continually amazes me …
A Whole New World
There is something about a newborn that brings a sense of awe. They are just so amazing…and so are the moms that just had them. I have never had a baby myself, but I love the opportunity to enjoy my friend’s. I do love being an auntie and watching all the little peanuts in my life grow and discover the …
One of Us
It recently occurred to me that I had not posted a blog about any of the many wonderful weddings I’ve done this year. What a tragedy! Incredibly bizarre, as well, since weddings are one of my absolute favorite things to photograph. So, here I am with my first wedding of the year in January. First things first, I LOVED this …
Say Cheese!
As the summer draws to a close, well kind of, no sense in rushing these things, I thought it was time to let you all know that at the end of the year I will be raising my prices for portrait sessions. Sometimes it’s just time. So, here’s the deal, if you book a session before the end of the …
All At Sea
At the beginning of every year, my husband and I make resolutions. Some work out, some don’t, but every year we try to do something new. Something we haven’t done or accomplished before. This year, I decided I wanted to really learn how to sail, quite possibly skipper, that means to captain, the boat by the end of the year. …
At The Right Time
So, once again I am far behind. Story of my life…but, it’s never too late to start all over and keep trying to be ahead, which probably will keep you just slightly behind, which isn’t so bad. I was trying to figure out what I would blog about because there are so many things I’ve worked on since my last …
Musing
There are times during a portrait session that I wish I could do something a little crazy, but, for whatever reason, I don’t feel the liberty to do so. It also isn’t very often that I’m photographing just one adult woman. There are seniors, but there are things, in my opinion that make them seem too old, they are still …
Carpe Diem
I am finally getting the chance to sit down and blog again and I love it. Blogging is great because it allows me the chance to decompress, reassess, and ponder. All good things. So, as I sit here, I contemplate life and allow myself to enjoy all things fall. It is absolutely my favorite season. I love everything about it, …
