Have I mentioned that my mom loved roses? I’m not completely sure why. Evidently, I never asked. She would have the most beautiful face whenever she saw them. You know that look? Soft, dreamy, with a smile that gradually spread across her face and eventually through her eyes. Like she was lost in the petals. […]

I like this picture better than I thought I would. I actually like it quite a lot. But every time I look at it, a question comes to mind… could it have been better? When I pull in my drive way after work, I often scan the front of the house. I’m not sure what […]

Most people think of seasons and think something like Fall or Spring. In South Louisiana a season may be football, baseball, crawfish… you get where I’m going here? There’s also an azalea season. Azaleas are very much a landscape staple in the South. To many, most of the year they are a somewhat nondescript shrub […]

We were out doing what I call “speed shooting”. We had plans that morning that fell through and by the afternoon I was antsy. I wanted to go shoot so bad. Our camera was still pretty new and was just sitting there in the closet! My husband said grab the camera, let’s go. He is […]

Beauty Without Editing I love magnolias. They feel regal. Do you know what I mean? They are generally large with big, beautiful petals that have a majestic feel. Did you know magnolias symbolize dignity, nobility perseverance and love of nature? They also remind me of the South. When I think of a magnolia, I see […]

I was on my way to get my hair done. It was the same route I had taken a hundred times before, but this time I saw them! It took everything I had not to slam on my brakes and back up. Silos. Silos sat behind a house. I know silos sit behind houses, but […]

This one is old.  Evidently so am I, as this was back when I was in college and first starting out and you shot film.  Yes, I said film and you had to wait for your photos.  Which meant you either had to get in the dark room or wait for the developer to find […]

Have I mentioned we love music?  And I mean all of us.  I grew up playing piano and singing so music has been a part of my life since I was a child.  Our range of musical taste is wide too.  Our son is always downloading something new or coming to me saying mom, take […]

Sometimes love insists on finding new ways to show up – even beyond time and space. I’m not sure where my fascination with cemeteries began.  Living in South Louisiana, cemeteries are just different.  So many areas here are literally below sea level so the graves are above ground.  Often, they are basically mausoleums and they […]

I have a fascination with cemeteries… is it because of the work I do now? I’m not sure actually. Evidently, I have a fascination with things in the fog as well. I am jealous of people that get amazing fog shots where it has layers. I was excited when we reached that point in the […]
