We were lucky enough to see a Blue Angels show a couple of years ago. I’ve always been mesmerized by fighter jets for some reason. Not just planes, I am drawn to jets. The sleek designs. The way they cut through the sky with such precision. I think part of me is often also drawn […]

As we move toward the Summer Solstice, you may be seeing more people talking about celebrations, rituals, and the longest day of the year. If you’re anything like me, you may have wondered what all the fuss is about. The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It occurs […]

We often imagine growth as a dramatic moment of clarity where everything suddenly makes sense. A new job.A new relationship.A breakthrough.A fresh start. But real growth rarely looks that way. More often, it begins with discomfort. A feeling that something is shifting, even if you can’t quite explain why. Things that once felt right no […]

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.

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 […]
