I do not have a favorite color or food. I don't have many favorites, except for music! I love to pick up a camera and capture images and even if there is not a camera around, I will be photographing in my mind. My son cracks me up. My husband makes me smile. My growing womb makes me hopeful and giddy. I am a woman of many joys and interests. I could have the music going all day long and have wild dreams - realistically wild. I love to chew bubblegum and wished the flavor last a lot longer, I guess I am like Violet Beauregarde. I love to stay in shape, but love treats too. Married life is fun and I hope to laugh everyday together and with our children. I tend to stress about things up front and then begin to relax through the process. An underlying passion of mine is drawing, writing, and creating - though I don't ever do much of it. Smiling and laughter is a form of living for me and I hope that it never drifts out of my life... that would be a terribly sad day.

Wedding Edit

Just a quick post.  I was scanning through last night’s wedding images and found this beautiful image. 98% of last night’s images were outdoor!  YAY!  I was photographing Heather and decided to place myself behind a tree, found a spot where I could see her through the leaves and branches then snapped away. Here is […]

Baby Bruce

Sweet baby Bruce.  What an angel he was through the entire session. Most of these images were photographed in their front porch area, for nice natural light. I am so thankful to Bernadette and Jim for trusting me with their precious bundle. Congrats to you all – what a beautiful baby boy you have!  May […]

Basic Urban Edit

Today I am showing you how to edit a very simple photo taken in NYC.  I did screen shots this time, in case anyone has photoshop and has NO idea where to begin 🙂 I am using Lightroom a lot more, but also love Bridge/Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) for basic photo adjustments. Here is the […]

Kristin Thanks for sharing. I love it when you show the before and afters. You are very telented.September 26, 2010 – 6:12 pm

ken davis Very informative…but patience loaded. I guess that’s why I do it for fun and leave it to you young folks to make the big bucks. Just don’t have the patience for all that Photoshop. I use Picasa. It is very limited but very intuitive.

It is interesting to me that most young photographers (and their clients) seem to prefer pictures a bit washed out. Not too sure why, maybe it just looks more modern?

I enjoy your skill and perspectives.

There’s no place like home

We arrived home on Sunday night.  What a lovely week we had celebrating the life of sweet Meme.  There were so many people at her funeral (I heard 300?)… for a 93 year old woman to have that many friends and family come to honor her can only support my feelings about Meme.  She was […]
