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.

If you don’t have a good understanding of light and how it works, you will always struggle to portray what you want to say. Sometimes, luck is on your side and everything …
Cute Backyard Wedding
So, as I work on weddings and photograph people, I find myself more and more in love with all things wedding. I LOVE weddings. I love being married, Vince and I will be celebrating our 6th anniversary in October, and I am reminded of that every time I do a wedding. I find everything about it enchanting, especially the bride …
Crazy/Cool Portrait Session
I know people think I was created by butterflies and rainbows, but recently I had a chance to bring out my inner Goth. I have recently been working with jewelry designer, Diana Acuesta, who makes amazing and fantastical things (these wonderful things can be found at Lily Atelier in Camas, WA and soon on her website, to which I will …
From the behind the Lens
I love to photograph people. Every person has amazing and unique photographic qualities, they just don’t always know it. It’s my job to show them what I see through the lens, beauty.
