Example 523 of why my husband is my favorite person and why he comes with me to shoot! Now mind you, my husband is a great photographer in his own right, but generally I am the one antsy to go somewhere and explore. One of my favorite places to visit is Jefferson Island in New […]

I’ve been lucky to be able to travel for work several times.  A few years ago, I attended a conference in Rhode Island.  This was the farthest North I had ever traveled and I the area was lovely.  Beautiful, with a quaintness and that northeastern charm.  I really wanted to take advantage of the trip, […]

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 […]

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?

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 […]
